In a large soup pot, melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with a seasoning blend or a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sear the chicken for about 4 minutes per side, until fully cooked through. Remove to a plate and set aside.

In the same pot, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery, and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper (about 1/4 teaspoon each). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and aromatic.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the flour and stir constantly to coat the vegetables evenly. Cook the roux for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Gradually pour in the chicken broth, about 1 1/2 cups at a time, whisking as you go to prevent clumping. Once all the broth is incorporated, stir in the heavy cream. Season the base with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and Herbs de Provence.

Bring the soup to a gentle boil. Add the chopped broccoli and broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring often to prevent the noodles from sticking together.

Once the noodles are tender, lower the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until fully melted and smooth. Chop the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot. Stir to combine and taste to adjust salt and pepper if needed.
