Ingredients

• 12 pieces Lasagna sheets
• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 250 grams Mushrooms
• 6 tablespoons Butter
• 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Milk
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Boil lasagna sheets according to package instructions. Drain and set aside on a flat surface to avoid sticking.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C). Remove from skillet, shred with two forks, and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Set the mushrooms aside.

Step 6

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to make a roux.

Step 7

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook on medium heat until the mixture thickens into a creamy white sauce, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper into the sauce. Mix until fully incorporated, then remove from heat.

Step 9

Spread a thin layer of the white sauce onto the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 10

Add a layer of lasagna sheets, followed by shredded chicken, sautéed mushrooms, a layer of white sauce, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.

Step 11

Repeat the layers (lasagna sheets, chicken, mushrooms, white sauce, mozzarella) until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of white sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses on top.

Step 12

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 13

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing to set the layers.

Step 14

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
