This is not your typical lasagna. There is no red sauce or traditional beef/Italian sausage in this casserole. It is full of ham and chicken in a wonderful white sauce and Swiss cheese. Yum!

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; cook lasagna noodles until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; stir in cream cheese into hot butter until it begins to melt, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, onion powder, and black pepper. Whisk warm milk gradually into cream cheese until smooth, making sure to do it slowly. Stir in 1½ c. Swiss cheese.
Bring sauce to a simmer, whisking continually until cheese has melted and sauce has thickened, about 5 - 10 minutes. Remove mixture from heat.
Spread a thin layer of cheese sauce onto the bottom of a 9 x 9 inch baking dish. Arrange 1/3 of the noodles over the sauce. You may need to tear them to fit as needed. Spread 1/2 of the cooked chicken and 1/2 of the ham over the noodles. Pour 1 c. sauce over chicken and ham. Repeat layers starting with 1/2 of the remaining lasagna noodles, remaining chicken, remaining ham, and 1 more c. cheese sauce. Finish by layering remaining lasagna noodles, remaining sauce, remaining 1/2 c. Swiss cheese, and bread crumbs; sprinkle top with Italian seasoning. Cover dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake until casserole is bubbling, about 25 minutes. Remove foil; continue to bake until crumbs are browned, about 10 minutes.
Let casserole stand 10 minutes before serving.
