Description

This Buffalo Chicken Lasagna recipe is a creamy and flavorful twist on traditional lasagna, combining shredded rotisserie chicken with spicy buffalo sauce and tangy ranch seasoning layered in cheesy pasta. Perfect for game day or family dinners, it offers a comforting blend of melty mozzarella, cheddar, and cream cheese with a kick of buffalo wing flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Lasagna Base

  • 12 ounces lasagna noodles
  • 3 1/2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded

Sauce and Cheese Mixture

  • 1 packet ranch seasoning
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Optional Toppings

  • Ranch dressing
  • Green onions, sliced
  • Blue cheese crumbles

Instructions

  1. Mix Chicken with Buffalo Sauce and Ranch: In a large bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken with buffalo sauce and ranch seasoning. Toss well to coat all the chicken evenly with the flavors.
  2. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, milk, cheddar, and mozzarella cheeses until smooth and spreadable.
  3. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray or grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  4. Start Layering: Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture on the bottom of the baking dish. Place a layer of lasagna noodles on top, making sure they do not overlap.
  5. Layer Chicken and Cheese: Spread half of the buffalo chicken mixture over the noodles, then add half of the cheese mixture over the chicken, smoothing evenly.
  6. Repeat Layers: Add another layer of noodles, followed by the remaining chicken mixture and the remaining cheese mixture. Top with a final layer of noodles.
  7. Top with Cheese: Spread the remaining cheese mixture over the final noodle layer. Sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top as desired, and add blue cheese crumbles if using.
  8. Bake Covered: Cover the dish tightly with foil, avoiding contact with the cheese to prevent sticking. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
  9. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the top to become bubbly and golden brown.
  10. Rest Before Serving: Remove from the oven and let the lasagna rest for 15-20 minutes. This helps set the layers for cleaner slicing.
  11. Serve: Cut into squares and serve warm. Optionally drizzle with ranch dressing or extra buffalo sauce, and garnish with sliced green onions for a fresh finishing touch.

Notes

  • Can be made ahead: Assemble the lasagna a day in advance and refrigerate, adding 10-15 minutes to the bake time when cooking.
  • Freezes well: Freeze before baking for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before baking.
  • Adjust spice level: Use mild buffalo sauce or reduce amount to control heat.
  • Let rest before cutting to help the lasagna hold together.
  • Use freshly shredded cheeses for best melting and texture.
