Description

A creamy, spicy, and cheesy lasagna perfect for game days or cozy dinners, featuring a ranch twist that balances the heat of buffalo sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Lasagna noodles
  • Cooked shredded chicken
  • Buffalo sauce
  • Ranch dressing
  • Ricotta cheese
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
  • Blue cheese crumbles (optional)
  • 1 egg
  • Marinara or Alfredo sauce
  • Green onions (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish.
  2. Mix shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until fully coated.
  3. Stir together ricotta, ranch dressing (or ranch seasoning plus a splash of milk), an egg, and a handful of mozzarella in another bowl.
  4. Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the dish, then add a layer of noodles.
  5. Layer on the ranch ricotta mixture, then buffalo chicken, then mozzarella, and a little more sauce.
  6. Repeat the layers until you run out, finishing with a generous layer of mozzarella and optional blue cheese or cheddar.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden.
  8. Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing for clean pieces.

Notes

Letting the lasagna rest is crucial for clean slices, and you can broil it for a few minutes at the end for a browned top.
