👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cook the Noodles

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Boil a large pot of salted water.
• Add lasagna noodles and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes.
• Drain and set aside.

2. Make the Creamy Cheese Sauce

• In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
• Stir in the softened cream cheese and cook until smooth, about 5 minutes.
• Season with salt and both types of pepper.
• Gradually whisk in the hot milk until fully combined and smooth.
• Add the minced Swiss cheese and stir until melted and thickened, about 5–10 minutes.
• Remove from heat.

3. Layer the Lasagna

• Spread ¾ cup of the cheese sauce over the base of a 9×9-inch baking dish.
• Place ⅓ of the noodles on top.
• Add half the chicken and half the ham.
• Spoon over 1 cup of the cheese sauce.
• Repeat the layers once more: noodles, remaining chicken and ham, another cup of sauce.
• Finish with the last layer of noodles, the rest of the sauce, shredded Swiss, and a topping of breadcrumbs.
• Sprinkle with Italian seasoning to finish.

4. Bake and Serve

• Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, or until bubbly.
• Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and crisp.
