Creamy Buffalo Chicken Lasagna
A fun and spicy twist on a comfort food classic that packs all your favorite wing flavors into every cheesy bite.
recipesbynani.comIf your family loves buffalo wings or creamy chicken dip, this lasagna is about to become your new favorite dinner. It takes the familiar comfort of a baked pasta dish and adds a bold kick of spice that makes it stand out from the usual meat sauce version.
This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights because you can easily assemble it ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you are ready to bake. I love serving this with a simple green salad and some crusty bread to soak up all that extra sauce.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 pound oven ready lasagna noodles
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 15 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese
- 3/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 3/4 cup blue cheese dressing
- 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1/3 cup sliced green onions
- 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
- 2
In a large bowl, stir together the ricotta, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, blue cheese dressing, blue cheese crumbles, and green onions until smooth.
- 3
Spread about 1/3 cup of the sauce mixture over the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
- 4
Season your shredded chicken with salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
- 5
Begin building your layers by placing a layer of noodles on the bottom, followed by 1/3 of the seasoned chicken, 1/3 of the remaining sauce, and about 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
- 6
Repeat these layers twice more, then finish with a final layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
- 7
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the noodles are tender and the center reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 8
Remove the foil and broil for 2 to 3 minutes to get the cheese golden and bubbly, then let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
💡 Tips
If you prefer regular boiled noodles, just prepare them according to the package instructions before starting your layers. If you want a milder flavor, you can swap the blue cheese crumbles for extra cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese.
