Instructions
- Preheat Oven – Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the Noodles – If using traditional lasagna noodles, cook them according to package instructions, drain, and set aside. Skip if using oven-ready noodles.
- Prepare Buffalo Chicken – In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with Buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and ranch or blue cheese dressing until well combined.
- Mix Ricotta Layer – In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder for a creamy, flavorful layer.
- Assemble the Lasagna:
- Spread a thin layer of Buffalo sauce at the bottom of the baking dish.
- Place a layer of lasagna noodles.
- Spread half of the Buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the noodles.
- Add a layer of ricotta mixture, followed by a sprinkle of mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
- Repeat the layers, finishing with a top layer of cheese.
- Bake – Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Let It Rest – Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and an optional drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing. Serve warm and enjoy!
