BROCCOLI CHICKEN LASAGNA
I came up with this when I didn't have any tomato sauce and tried using a white sauce and it turned out really good! I don't really care for broccoli, so I will cut up the broccoli into small pieces when made into the sauce. Being a Latter Day Saint, we have a three hour church service, so I like to make this on a Saturday and on Sunday, just before we leave for church I will put it in the oven straight from the fridge and bake at 250-275 degrees and when we come home from church, it is cooked well and ready to eat. Therefore, this lasagna can be made well in advanced!

- Béchamel Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour to form a roux. Gradually whisk in milk until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. For a richer flavor, add grated Parmesan cheese.
- Layer with Care: Start with a layer of sauce, then noodles, chicken, broccoli, and cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used up. Finish with a layer of sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Baking: Preheat the oven to the temperature specified in the recipe. Bake the lasagna for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the noodles are tender. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Serve and Garnish: Garnish with fresh parsley, basil, or oregano. Serve the lasagna hot with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
