Instructions
Set the Oven:Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius or 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures the lasagna cooks evenly and the top browns beautifully.
Cook the Noodles:Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the lasagna noodles gently so they do not break. Stir occasionally and cook until just tender but not mushy about eight minutes. Drain and set aside on a baking sheet so they do not stick together.
Make the Cheese Sauce:In a medium saucepan melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Add cream cheese cut into chunks and cook stirring often until the cheese starts to melt about five minutes. Sprinkle with salt onion powder and a touch of ground black pepper. Slowly whisk in warm milk a little at a time making sure the sauce stays smooth. Add shredded Swiss cheese in two handfuls whisking until it melts in and the sauce thickens about ten minutes. Remove from heat to avoid overheating or breaking the sauce.
Layer the First Ingredients:Spoon about three fourths of a cup of cheese sauce into the bottom of a nine inch baking dish. Arrange a single layer of cooked noodles over the sauce making sure the edges overlap slightly. Sprinkle half the chopped chicken and half the ham evenly over the noodles. Drizzle one cup of cheese sauce on top covering the filling for extra moisture.
