This Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna blends the rich, savory flavors of the classic dish into a layered pasta casserole. The combination of tender chicken, salty ham, and gooey cheese smothered in creamy sauce creates a comforting meal that feels gourmet, yet is easy to make.
Ingredients:
- 9 lasagna noodles, cooked
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup ham, diced
- 2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 ½ cups milk
Instructions:
- Prepare the Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Stir in 1 cup of Alfredo sauce, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Assemble Lasagna: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a greased baking dish, spread a layer of the prepared sauce. Add 3 lasagna noodles, followed by shredded chicken, diced ham, Swiss cheese, and mozzarella. Repeat layers twice more, ending with noodles and a final layer of sauce.
- Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil, top with additional mozzarella, and bake for another 10 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Let the lasagna sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
