Description
Buffalo Chicken Lasagna is a spicy twist on the traditional lasagna, featuring layers of shredded chicken coated in buffalo sauce, creamy ricotta, and melted mozzarella.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce. Mix well until the chicken is fully coated.
- In another bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Spread a thin layer of the buffalo chicken mixture on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the chicken mixture, then spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles.
- Add another layer of the buffalo chicken mixture, followed by 3 more lasagna noodles, the remaining ricotta cheese mixture, and then another layer of buffalo chicken.
- Top with the final 3 lasagna noodles and the remaining buffalo chicken mixture. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, add a layer of cream cheese mixed with a little buffalo sauce in between the layers.
- Substitute the chicken with shredded rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
