Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Adjust the rack to the center position and lightly coat a 23×33 cm baking dish with non-stick oil spray; set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped shallots and sauté, stirring frequently, until softened.
- Add the grated or minced garlic and cook until aromatic.
- Add butter to the skillet and allow it to melt. Sprinkle flour evenly over the mixture, stirring constantly for 2–3 minutes until combined and slightly golden.
- Gradually whisk in heavy cream and milk. Add the dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, black pepper, and grated nutmeg. Cook while whisking until the sauce thickens.
- Fold in grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat, cover, and set aside.
Cooking
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook until al dente as per package instructions. Drain in a colander and arrange noodles separately on a plate to prevent sticking.
- Spread one-quarter of the Alfredo sauce on the base of the prepared baking dish. Arrange four lasagna noodles, slightly overlapping, over the sauce.
- Add 1 cup of shredded Mozzarella, one-third of the chicken, and 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme. Top with another quarter of the sauce.
- Repeat the layering of noodles, Mozzarella, chicken, fresh thyme, and sauce for two more layers. End with a final layer of noodles and the remaining sauce.
- Scatter the reserved Mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil and place it, oil side down, to cover the dish.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and continue baking for an additional 15–20 minutes until the dish is bubbling and golden brown at the edges.
- Allow the dish to rest for 10 minutes before sprinkling with chopped parsley and serving.
