Ingredients
  

For the sauce

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3.5 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese Reserve 1/2 cup for topping
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs Finely ground
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

For the lasagna

  • 4 cups cooked rotisserie chicken Chopped
  • 2 large shallots Finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic Grated or minced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley Chopped
  • 16 ounces dry lasagna noodles

Instructions
 

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.

Notes

Serve warm with a side salad or garlic bread. For extra creaminess, consider using only heavy cream or mixing in some ricotta cheese.
