Buffalo Chicken Lasagna

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 2 large breasts)
• 1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup ranch dressing
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 9 lasagna noodles (regular or homemade)
• 1 cup additional shredded mozzarella cheese for topping
• Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Cook the Lasagna Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and ranch dressing. Mix until well combined.
3. Make the Cheese Filling: In another bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, and Italian seasoning until smooth.
4. Assemble the Lasagna: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the buffalo chicken mixture on the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top, followed by half of the cheese filling. Repeat the layers, finishing with a final layer of buffalo chicken mixture and topping it with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
5. Bake the Lasagna: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
6. Let it Set: Once finished baking, remove the lasagna from the oven and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
7. Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or sliced green onions, if desired, and enjoy your spicy chicken lasagna!
