Once boiling, add in your lasagna noodles and cook per instructions. When cooked, drain and run pasta under cold water to stop the cooking process or get the mo boil noodles . Set aside.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine ricotta, egg, 1/2 cup of Parmesan, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, garlic powder and salt. Mix to combine and set aside.
- In a large skillet, add butter and onions. Melt butter over medium heat while cooking onions . Stir to combine and cook for one minute. Sprinkle in the flour and stir, cooking for another minute. Whisk in the milk and bring to a boil, stirring continuously so that the flour does not stick to the bottom. When your sauce comes to a low boil, add in your cheeses and spices and combine until cheese has melted. Stir in your shredded chicken.
- Lightly grease a 13 x 9 pan and spoon 1/2 cup of sauce into the bottom of the pan. Add a layer of pasta laid out side by side and spoon the chicken white sauce on top and evenly spread out over the noodles. Add dollops of ricotta mixture on top of the pasta and spread evenly.
