Ingredients
Lasagna Ingredients
- 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
- 3 cups Shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup Buffalo wing sauce
- 1 15 oz Container ricotta cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese Divided
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese Divided
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce
- 1/2 cup Ranch dressing
- 1 tablespoon Milk Optional, for thinning ranch
- Green onions, chopped For garnish
- Extra Buffalo sauce Optional, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and lay them flat on a baking sheet or towel to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, mix shredded cooked chicken with Buffalo wing sauce until the chicken is well coated. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Begin assembling the lasagna: spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce over the bottom of your greased baking dish.
- Place three lasagna noodles over the sauce.
- Spread a third of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top with a third of the Buffalo chicken, then sprinkle with 1/3 cup of mozzarella and 1/3 cup of cheddar cheese. Drizzle with more Alfredo sauce.
- Repeat the layering process two more times: noodles, ricotta mixture, Buffalo chicken, cheeses, Alfredo sauce.
- Finish with a top layer of noodles. Spread the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top and sprinkle with the last of the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the lasagna cool for 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile, thin the ranch dressing with a little milk if desired, making it pourable.
- Drizzle the ranch over the hot lasagna and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Add extra Buffalo sauce for an even bolder flavor, if you like.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, use rotisserie chicken. Customize the spice level by choosing either mild or hot Buffalo sauce. Let the dish rest after baking before slicing to avoid soupy lasagna.
