Ingredients

2 cups shredded mozzarella
15 oz. ricotta
2 large eggs
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
¼ cup all purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz. cream cheese
12 lasagna noodles (cooked according to package directions)
2 cups chopped chicken
1 ½ cups cubed ham
1 cup chopped bacon (plus additional for topping)
1 cup mozzarella cheese
Parsley to garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella, ricotta, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and cracked black pepper. Set this mixture aside until needed.
Step 2: In a medium pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and whisk continuously, cooking for one minute to form a roux.
Step 3: While whisking constantly, slowly add the chicken broth, then the heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a light simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until it thickens.
Step 4: Add the cream cheese to the sauce and whisk until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5: Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 6: Spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom of the dish. Lay down a layer of noodles, then spread half the ricotta mixture over them. Sprinkle half the ham, chopped chicken, and bacon evenly on top. Pour one-third of the sauce over this layer.
Step 7: Repeat the layering process with noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, ham, chicken, bacon, and another third of the sauce.
Step 8: Add a final layer of noodles and cover with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the top with mozzarella cheese and additional bacon pieces.
Step 9: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
Step 10: Allow the lasagna to rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, then serve.

Tips & Variations

For a smokier flavor, use smoked ham and bacon.
Feel free to substitute turkey for chicken if preferred.
Make sure to cook the noodles al dente to avoid a mushy texture.
Add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for extra vegetables.
Use low-fat cream cheese and ricotta for a lighter version.

Storage

Store any leftover lasagna in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, cover with foil and bake at 350°F until warmed through, about 20 minutes. You can also microwave individual portions, but baking helps maintain the texture better.
