Instructions:
- Cook the Noodles:
Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. - Make the White Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until lightly golden.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese until melted.
- Assemble the Lasagna:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the white sauce at the bottom.
- Add a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by a layer of shredded chicken, ham slices, and a sprinkle of Swiss cheese.
- Pour a portion of the white sauce over the layer.
- Repeat the layers: noodles, chicken, ham, Swiss cheese, and sauce, finishing with noodles and a generous layer of white sauce on top.
- Top with Cheese and Breadcrumbs:
- Sprinkle the remaining Swiss and mozzarella cheeses over the top layer of lasagna.
- Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the cheese for a crispy topping.
- Bake:
- Cover the lasagna with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Let It Rest:
- Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
