Description

Buffalo Chicken Lasagna with a Ranch Twist is a delicious and unique fusion of flavors, combining spicy Buffalo chicken with creamy cheeses and a tangy ranch drizzle.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package instructions
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup Buffalo wing sauce (adjust for spice level)
  • 1 (15 oz) container ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tbsp milk (optional, to thin)
  • Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Extra Buffalo sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the shredded chicken with Buffalo wing sauce until evenly coated. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, Parmesan, and 1 cup of mozzarella. Mix until smooth.
  4. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  5. Place 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
  6. Spread a third of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a third of the Buffalo chicken mixture, and a sprinkle of mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Drizzle with more Alfredo sauce.
  7. Repeat these layers two more times, ending with a top layer of noodles, Alfredo sauce, and the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the lasagna is bubbly and golden.
  9. Allow the lasagna to cool for 5-10 minutes. Drizzle ranch dressing over the top (add milk to thin if necessary) and garnish with chopped green onions. For extra heat, drizzle with additional Buffalo sauce.
  10. Slice and serve the lasagna hot with a crisp salad or garlic bread on the side.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the amount of Buffalo wing sauce according to your spice preference.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute shredded chicken with a plant-based protein.
