Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (8 ounce) package lasagna noodles
• 1 pinch Italian seasoning, or to taste
• 8 ounces deli ham, chopped
• 0.5 cup butter
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 cup bread crumbs
• 1.5 cups shredded Swiss cheese
• 1.75 cups warm milk
• 2.5 cups cooked chicken, chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.

Step 3

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; stir in cream cheese until it begins to melt, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, onion powder, and black pepper. Gradually whisk warm milk into cream cheese until smooth; stir in 1 1/2 cups Swiss cheese. Bring sauce to a simmer, stirring constantly, until cheese has melted and sauce has thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Spread 3/4 cup cheese sauce into bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish. Arrange 1/3 lasagna noodles over sauce; spread 1/2 cooked chicken and 1/2 ham over noodles. Pour 1 cup sauce over top. Repeat layers starting with 1/2 remaining lasagna noodles, remaining 1/2 chicken, remaining 1/2 ham, and 1 cup cheese sauce. Layer remaining lasagna noodles, remaining sauce, remaining 1/2 cup Swiss cheese, and bread crumbs; sprinkle top with Italian seasoning. Cover dish with aluminum foil.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 25 minutes. Remove foil; continue baking until bread crumbs are browned, about 10 minutes more. Let casserole stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
