Ingredients

Lasagna Layers

  • 1 cup buffalo sauce Adjust to taste.

Cheese Mixture

  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 piece egg
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese Plus additional for topping.
  • 1 cup crumbled blue cheese Optional.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce. Mix well until the chicken is fully coated.
  • In another mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined. If using, add the blue cheese.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water. Lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel or parchment paper.

Assembly

  • In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the buffalo chicken mixture on the bottom.
  • Place 4 lasagna noodles over the chicken mixture, slightly overlapping if necessary.
  • Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles.
  • Add half of the buffalo chicken mixture on top of the ricotta layer, spreading it evenly.
  • Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken layer.
  • Repeat the layering: add another layer of 4 lasagna noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, the remaining buffalo chicken mixture, and another cup of mozzarella cheese.
  • For the final layer, place the last 4 lasagna noodles on top. Spread any remaining buffalo chicken mixture over the noodles, and top with the remaining mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.

Baking

  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, ensuring it doesn’t touch the cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  • Once done, remove the lasagna from the oven and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to set.
  • Cut the lasagna into squares and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
