Ingredients

• 12 sheets Lasagna noodles
• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pound Asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 16 ounces Ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Flour
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and lay them flat on a baking sheet to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken until golden and fully cooked, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and shred the chicken using two forks.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and asparagus. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the asparagus is tender but still crisp. Set aside.

Step 5

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a smooth white sauce. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.

Step 6

In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and chopped parsley. Set aside.

Step 7

To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the white sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles on top.

Step 8

Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the shredded chicken, 1/3 of the asparagus mixture, and 1/3 of the remaining white sauce. Repeat the layering process two more times.

Step 9

Top the final layer with the remaining mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs for a golden crust.

Step 10

Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese and breadcrumbs are golden and bubbly.

Step 11

Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
