Ingredients

• 9 lasagna noodles
• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
• 1 cup ham, diced
• 2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 cups béchamel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Béchamel Sauce (optional homemade)

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Béchamel Sauce (if homemade):

• In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes.
• Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Remove from heat.

1. Cook the Noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. Layer the Lasagna:

• In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce on the bottom.
• Place three lasagna noodles over the sauce.
• Add half of the shredded chicken, half of the diced ham, and half of the Swiss cheese. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Add another layer of béchamel sauce.
• Repeat the layering process: noodles, remaining chicken, ham, Swiss cheese, and more béchamel.
• Top with the final three noodles, remaining béchamel sauce, and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top.

1. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
2. Garnish and Serve: Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley.
