Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 9 pieces lasagna noodles
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- to taste Salt and pepper
- to taste Green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce. Stir until the chicken is well-coated.
- In another bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Layering
- In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the buffalo chicken mixture on the bottom. Then place three lasagna noodles over the top.
- Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a third of the mozzarella and half of the remaining buffalo chicken. Repeat this layering process.
- End with a final layer of noodles topped with mozzarella and blue cheese.
Baking
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil (you can spray it with a little cooking spray to avoid sticking). Bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Serving
- Once baked, let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing. Top with sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
Don’t worry if your sauce looks a little lumpy—it’s all part of the magic! For a lighter version, you can use low-fat ricotta and reduce the amount of mozzarella. Leftovers can be frozen and reheated, making it a great option for meal prep.
