Ingredients
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 4 boneless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes
- 12 oz. bag of frozen broccoli, thawed
- 8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1/4 tsp. plus 1 Tbsp. salt
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups full-fat milk
- 1 tsp. dried basil
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 5 Tbsp. butter
- 5 tsp. flour
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt and noodles. Cook for 7-8 minutes until tender. Drain, rinse with cold water to prevent sticking, and set aside.
- In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken cubes and cook until fully done. Add broccoli, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In another saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in dried basil, salt, grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese until smooth.
- Combine the chicken and broccoli mixture with the sauce, mixing well.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9″x13″ baking dish.
- To assemble the lasagna, spread a layer of noodles on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with a portion of the chicken and broccoli sauce mixture, and sprinkle with a quarter of the remaining mozzarella cheese. Repeat with another layer of noodles, sauce, and cheese, ending with a final layer of noodles. Pour any remaining sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake the lasagna in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
