Instructions

Prepare the Chicken Filling – In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated. Set aside.
Cook the Lasagna Noodles – Boil according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay flat to prevent sticking.
Make the Ricotta Mixture – In a separate bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning until smooth.
Prepare the Sauce – Whisk together the ranch dressing and heavy cream in another bowl.
Assemble the Lasagna:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread a thin layer of ranch-cream sauce at the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
- Spread buffalo chicken mixture, then add dollops of ricotta and a sprinkle of mozzarella, cheddar, and blue cheese.
- Repeat layers until ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on top.
Bake the Lasagna:
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake another 10–15 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Rest & Serve – Let the lasagna sit for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley or green onions and drizzle with extra buffalo sauce if desired.
