 How to Make Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna

1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Make the Creamy Cheese Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat:

• Melt butter, then whisk in flour

• Cook for 1 minute until lightly golden

• Slowly add warm milk while whisking

• Simmer 3–5 minutes until thickened

Stir in:

• Salt, pepper, Dijon mustard

• Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese

Cook until smooth and creamy, then remove from heat.

3. Season the Chicken

In a bowl, combine:

• Shredded chicken

• Garlic powder, salt, and pepper

Mix well to evenly season.

4. Assemble the Lasagna

Layer ingredients in this order:

1. Thin layer of cream sauce

2. 3 lasagna noodles

3. Half of the chicken

4. Half of the ham

5. 1 cup Swiss cheese

6. Sauce

Repeat layers once more.

Finish with:

• Final layer of noodles

• Remaining sauce

• 1 cup mozzarella on top

5. Bake to Perfection

• Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes

• Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes until golden and bubbly

6. Rest & Serve

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
This helps the layers set and makes serving easier.
