Ingredients

Scale

Lasagna Components

  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Toppings

  • 1 cup ranch dressing

Other

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the lasagna.
  2. Cook Noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Mix Chicken and Buffalo Sauce: In a bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated for that spicy flavor.
  4. Prepare Ricotta Mixture: In another bowl, mix ricotta cheese with garlic powder and onion powder for a seasoned creamy layer.
  5. Layer Chicken: Spread a layer of the buffalo chicken mixture on the bottom of a greased baking dish to start the assembly.
  6. Add Noodles: Place a layer of cooked lasagna noodles over the chicken layer evenly.
  7. Spread Ricotta Mixture: Spoon and spread a layer of the seasoned ricotta cheese mixture on top of the noodles.
  8. Add Cheese: Sprinkle a mixture of shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the ricotta layer to add richness.
  9. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process (chicken, noodles, ricotta, cheeses) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of mozzarella cheese.
  10. Bake: Bake the lasagna in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.
  11. Drizzle Ranch: After baking, let the lasagna cool slightly before drizzling ranch dressing evenly over the top. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use cooked shredded chicken to save prep time—rotisserie chicken works well.
  • Adjust buffalo sauce amount depending on your spice preference.
  • Allow the lasagna to rest for 5 to 10 minutes after baking for easier slicing.
  • Add fresh chopped parsley as garnish for color and freshness if desired.
