Ingredients

• 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 3 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 cups Ricotta cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

Rub both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil, then sprinkle with rosemary, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked. Let the chicken cool, then shred it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes until light golden brown.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer the béchamel sauce until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in garlic powder and Parmesan cheese. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 8

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 9

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce on the bottom.

Step 10

Layer 3-4 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, then add half of the shredded chicken. Sprinkle 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese over the chicken, followed by a drizzle of béchamel sauce.

Step 11

Repeat the layering process with another set of noodles, ricotta mixture, chicken, mozzarella, and béchamel sauce.

Step 12

Finish with a final layer of noodles, the remaining béchamel sauce, and the remaining mozzarella cheese.

Step 13

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 14

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
