1. **Prepare the Noodles**:

   - Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the lasagna noodles.

   - Cook for 7-8 minutes until tender.

   - Drain, run cold water over them to keep from sticking, and set aside.


2. **Cook the Chicken and Vegetables**:

   - In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

   - Sauté the chicken cubes until cooked through.

   - Add the broccoli, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onions are translucent.

   - Remove from heat and set aside.


3. **Prepare the Sauce**:

   - In a separate pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

   - Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.

   - Gradually add the chicken stock and milk, whisking constantly until the sauce begins to thicken.

   - Cook until the sauce heavily coats the back of a spoon.

   - Remove from heat and stir in the dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/4 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese.


4. **Combine Chicken Mixture with Sauce**:

   - Add the chicken and broccoli mixture to the sauce. Combine well.


5. **Assemble the Lasagna**:

   - Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.

   - Place a layer of lasagna noodles on the bottom of the pan.

   - Spoon a good even layer of the sauce mixture over the noodles.

   - Sprinkle with 1/4 of the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.

   - Repeat for a second layer, ending with a top layer of noodles.

   - Spoon any remaining sauce over the top layer of noodles and sprinkle with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.


6. **Bake**:

   - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

   - Bake for 30 minutes or until the lasagna is golden brown and bubbly.
