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

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

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

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

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
