Ingredients

9 lasagna noodles
½ cup butter
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups chicken broth
1 ½ cups milk
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups cubed, cooked chicken meat
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and rinse with cold water.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic in the butter until tender, stirring frequently. Stir in the flour and salt, and simmer until bubbly. Mix in the broth and milk, and boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in 2 cups mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Season with the basil, oregano, and ground black pepper. Remove from heat, and set aside.
Spread 1/3 of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer with 1/3 of the noodles, the ricotta, and the chicken. Arrange 1/3 of the noodles over the chicken, and layer with 1/3 of the sauce mixture, spinach, and the remaining 2 cups mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Arrange remaining noodles over cheese, and spread remaining sauce evenly over noodles. Sprinkle with parsley and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven.

Ingredients

9 lasagna noodles
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese (reserve 1/4 cup for sprinkling over the top once lasagna is assembled)
fresh parsley
salt (I don't add any salt, as the soup is already quite salty)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Add lasagna noodles to boiling water and place lid tightly back on the pot, immediately turn heat off, don't open the pot for another 10-15 minutes (this produces perfect al dente pasta every time), Drain, and rinse with cold water and set aside.
While pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large saucepan over low to medium heat and cook the onion and garlic in the butter until tender, stirring frequently.
In a large bowl, mix together cream of chicken soup, sautéed onions and garlic mixture, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, pepper, poultry seasoning, and 1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese, and all of the cubed chicken.
In a 9x13 inch casserole dish start layering as follows: place 3 cooked lasagna noodles at bottom of dish, and spread half of the chicken mixture over the noodles, sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of mozzarella over the chicken mixture.
Create another layer by repeating above step.
Use last 3 noodles to cover the second layer, and spread the entire top of the lasagna with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan.
When the layering is completed, cover with aluminum foil, making certain that the foil is not touching the top of the lasagna, and bake for 25 minutes @ 350 degree F (175 degrees C)
Remove foil and continue baking, for another 15-20 minutes or until cheesee browns nicely.
Let stand 10 minutes before serving, so lasagna can set as cheese cools (I usually let it set overnight, to allow for easier cutting).
Sprinkle parsley over dish before serving.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish, so use the freshest ingredients you can find.
Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook them just until they are cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per side.
Make sure the white sauce is thick enough: The white sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thin, add a little more flour or cornstarch.
Use a variety of cheeses: Using a variety of cheeses will give the lasagna a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheeses.
Let the lasagna rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Chicken lasagna with white sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a chicken lasagna that will impress your family and friends.
