Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup onion finely minced
- 2 cloves garlic pressed or finely minced
- ⅓ cup flour
- 2 cups chicken broth low-sodium
- 1 ⅔ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated, plus 1/4 cup to sprinkle on top
- 3 cups broccoli chopped, florets
- 2 cups chicken cooked, diced
- 1-2 cups ham chopped
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded
- 4 ounces swiss cheese shredded
- 12 lasagna noodles no-boil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9X13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the onion has softened, 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the flour. The mixture will be crumbly – don’t fret! Continue to stir, cooking over medium heat, for 1-2 minutes.
- Very slowly, pour in the chicken broth while whisking constantly and quickly, letting each addition incorporate and thicken slightly before adding more. When the broth has been added, gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly.
- Continue to cook the mixture until it simmers. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly, 5-10 minutes. Stir in the salt and pepper and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Remove from the heat.
- To assemble, spread a little bit of the sauce (about 1/3 cup) on the bottom of the prepared pan. Add a layer of noodles. Top with half of the broccoli, chicken, and cheeses. Drizzle a cup or so of the sauce over the cheese followed by half of the ham.
- Add another layer of noodles over the ham and sprinkle the remaining broccoli, chicken and cheeses over the top. Add sauce (leaving about 1/2 cup or so for the top) followed by the remaining ham.
- Add the final layer of noodles and spread the remaining sauce on top. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
- Cover the dish with lightly greased aluminum foil and bake for 30-35 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10-15 minutes longer, until bubbling and the noodles are tender.
- Remove the lasagna from the oven, tent with foil, and let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Noodles: I love the Barilla brand of no-boil lasagna noodles but you could use regular lasagna noodles, cooking them al dente before using (I haven't tried this variation myself since I always use no-boil noodles so you may need to play around with sauce amounts and use slightly less with already boiled noodles). Basically, you want three layers of noodles so plan accordingly depending on the type/brand you are using.
