Method
 

How to Make White Sauce Chicken Lasagna
  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the minced garlic and let it sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  2. Whisk in the flour to create a roux, stirring constantly for about 2-3 minutes until it turns a light golden color.
  3. Pour in the whole milk gradually, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Keep cooking for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and remove the sauce from heat.
  5. Layer the lasagna by spreading a thin layer of white sauce in a baking dish, followed by 3 lasagna noodles.
  6. Top them with a third of the shredded chicken, a sprinkle of ricotta, and a generous amount of mozzarella.
  7. Repeat this layering process twice, finishing with noodles and the remaining white sauce on top.
  8. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over everything.
  9. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 30 minutes.
  10. Uncover and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
  11. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
