Instructions
Cook the Lasagna Noodles
Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Creamy Sauce
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously until smooth and creamy.
Add the Cheese
Stir in the cream cheese until melted. Add salt, garlic powder, black pepper, Swiss cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until the sauce becomes rich and silky. Add hot water if needed to thin slightly.
Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken and diced ham. Stir in Dijon mustard if using.
Assemble the Lasagna
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a greased baking dish, spread a thin layer of sauce. Add lasagna noodles, then chicken and ham mixture, followed by more sauce and mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.
Bake
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10–15 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
Serve & Enjoy
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
