Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook Lasagna Noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Prepare Creamy Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in flour and cook for about a minute. Gradually whisk in milk and chicken broth. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Sauté Mushrooms: In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until tender.
Assemble Lasagna: Spread a thin layer of the creamy sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Layer 3-4 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the shredded chicken over the noodles, followed by half of the mushrooms. Pour one-third of the creamy sauce over the chicken and mushrooms. Sprinkle one-third of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top. Repeat the layering process, finishing with a final layer of noodles, remaining sauce, and cheeses.
Bake: Cover the baking dish 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.
Garnish: Allow the lasagna to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and color.

Notes

For extra flavor, add herbs like thyme or rosemary to the sauce.
You can substitute the chicken with turkey for a different twist.
Try using a mix of cheeses for a richer taste, such as cheddar or Gruyère.
Make sure to let the lasagna sit a bit after baking; it helps with slicing cleanly.
