Introduction
Must Love Garlic! A creamy, yet relatively low-fat, lasagna recipe. I got tired of making the same old lasagna, and since garlic and cayenne are always a big hit in our house I decided to try something new.This certainly requires a bit of a time commitment, but the end result is definitely worth it, and depending on the size of your household, you'll be able to eat it for a few days.

Ingredients
-
6 Lasagna noodles
3 skinless/boneless chicken breasts
8 ounces fat free cream cheese
1 cup of fat free mozzarella cheese
1 stick of unsalted butter
1/2 cup of flour
1 large onion
1 cluster of garlic (about 10 cloves... or more if you want)
1 cup low-fat milk
1/2 grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbl Italian seasonings
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup broccoli florets (chopped small)
Tips
Need more kick? Add more cayenne!
Substitute fat free cream cheese for more flavor. Also, a little bit of fat in the cheese will make it melt in better. Add 5 grams of fat per serving for low fat cream cheese.
My husband also likes when I throw in some turkey bacon.
You can also add some extra noodles and chicken, build a thicker lasagna and cut smaller pieces.
Directions
Prepping!
1) Cook lasagna noodles as per package instructions and set aside. Be sure to rinse with cold water to prevent sticking!
2) Cook chicken using your preferred method, and then shred using two forks.
3) In a large bowl combine chicken, cream cheese, and 1/2 cup mozzarella. Cover and leave in fridge until needed.
4) Steam brocolli till fork tender.
Sauce Time!
1) Roughly chop onion and garlic and put in a microwave safe bowl. Add just enough water to cover. Cover tightly with clear wrap then microwave for approximately 8 minutes. You may want to leave this in the microwave for a few minutes to cool down before trying to pick it up! Then use an immersion blender (or regular blender) to puree.
2) Melt butter in a medium sized pot, and then add flour. Stir well to incorporate all the flour. Add puree and milk. Continue stirring and allow to thicken. Salt to taste.
3) Add Parmesan cheese, Italian seasonings, and cayenne pepper.
Layer your Lasagna in a 9 x 13 inch pan starting with sauce to prevent sticking! Then add noodles, chicken/cheese mixture, broccoli, then sauce. Layer until you've used everything.
Put it in an oven till hot and bubbly!
