Step 3: Assemble the Lasagna
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread a thin layer of white sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Place a layer of lasagna sheets over the sauce.
- Spread half of the chicken filling evenly over the pasta.
- Pour a third of the remaining white sauce over the chicken.
- Sprinkle a portion of mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat with another layer of lasagna sheets, the remaining chicken, sauce, and mozzarella.
- Top with the final layer of lasagna sheets, remaining sauce, and a generous layer of mozzarella.
Step 4: Bake
- Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil (tent the foil to prevent cheese from sticking).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow it to set.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
- Slice into portions and serve hot.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or extra Parmesan cheese for a beautiful presentation.
