Ingredients

Units Scale

Oven Ready Lasagna Noodles

  • 12 sheets

Filling

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 8 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper (adjust to taste)

Chicken Mixture

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 3/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 3/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 15 ounces diced tomatoes (1 can)

Cheese Topping

  • 4 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the lasagna.
  2. Mix the filling: In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, blue cheese, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended and set aside.
  3. Prepare the chicken mixture: In another bowl, mix shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, and diced tomatoes until evenly coated.
  4. Assemble the lasagna: Spread ¼ of the chicken mixture on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer 4 lasagna noodles over the chicken. Spread another ¼ of the chicken mixture, then about 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Sprinkle with about 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers: noodles, chicken, cheese mixture, mozzarella, noodles, chicken, cheese mixture, and finish with mozzarella cheese on top. This creates 3 noodle layers.
  5. Bake the lasagna: Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 20 minutes until bubbly and hot, ensuring the noodles are cooked through.

Notes

  • Allow the lasagna to cool slightly before serving to let it set properly.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–5 days.
  • To freeze, cool completely, then wrap tightly and keep for 2–3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
