# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Boil lasagna noodles in salted water for 7–8 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Cook chicken until no longer pink, about 5–6 minutes. Add broccoli, onion, and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent, 3–4 minutes.
03 -
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour for 1 minute. Gradually add broth and milk while whisking. Simmer until thickened, about 5–7 minutes.
04 -
Remove from heat. Stir in basil, salt, parmesan, and 1/4 cup mozzarella. Fold in chicken and broccoli mixture until evenly combined.
05 -
Grease a 9×13-inch dish. Layer 3 noodles, 1/3 chicken mixture, and mozzarella. Repeat twice. Top with remaining sauce and cheese.
06 -
Bake uncovered at 375°F for 30 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Let the lasagna rest before slicing to help layers hold together.
02 -
You can prepare components ahead and assemble just before baking.
03 -
Use fresh broccoli by blanching it for 2–3 minutes beforehand.
04 -
Reserve some mozzarella for topping during final minutes of baking.
