Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • Pinch ground nutmeg
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 cups diced cooked chicken
  • 1 package (16 ounces) frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add milk and broth; bring to a boil. Boil and stir for 2 minutes. Whisk half into eggs; return all to pan. Cook and stir over low heat for about 1 minute or until mixture reaches at least 160°. Remove from heat; add 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt, nutmeg and cayenne. Set aside.

  • Layer with a third of the noodles, half of the chicken mixture, 1/2 cup Parmesan custard, a third of the mozzarella cheese and 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining noodles, mozzarella and Parmesan custard. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Yield: 12 servings.

I have made this numerous times. My husband does not like the traditional lasagna but he loves this. I often half the recipe, using 2 eggs and bake in an 8x8 pan. Yum Yum!
