  • Author: Tessa

  • Yield: 8 servings

Description

This Ultimate Buffalo Chicken Lasagna recipe combines the bold flavors of buffalo chicken with creamy layers of lasagna, creating a spicy, cheesy comfort food masterpiece.


Ingredients

  • Lasagna noodles (regular or oven-ready)
  • Shredded chicken (rotisserie or cooked chicken)
  • Buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • Cream cheese (softened)
  • Ricotta cheese
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Blue cheese crumbles (optional)
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • Chopped celery
  • Green onions (for garnish)
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. If using regular lasagna noodles, cook them in salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with 1 cup of buffalo sauce. Mix until well-coated.
  4. In another bowl, mix ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, and 4 ounces of softened cream cheese. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Spread a thin layer of buffalo sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
  6. Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta mixture evenly on top, followed by a layer of buffalo chicken mixture and a sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles (optional).
  7. Repeat the layering process: noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, chicken mixture, and blue cheese crumbles.
  8. Top with a final layer of noodles and sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella evenly over the top.
  9. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  10. Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘If your buffalo chicken layer seems too thick, add a splash of ranch or blue cheese dressing to loosen it up.’, ‘Taste your ricotta mixture before layering to adjust seasoning.’, ‘Let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes after baking to firm up for easier slicing.’]
