Lasagna Noodles
- 12 sheets oven-ready lasagna noodles
Cheese Mixture
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 8 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
Chicken and Sauce
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 3/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 3/4 cup ranch dressing
- 15 ounces diced tomatoes, drained (1 can)
Cheese Topping
- 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the lasagna.
- Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, blue cheese, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
- Prepare Chicken Mixture: In another bowl, mix shredded cooked chicken, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, and diced tomatoes until evenly coated.
- Assemble Lasagna: Spoon ¼ of the chicken mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer 4 lasagna noodles over the chicken, then add another ¼ of the chicken mixture and one-third of the cheese mixture. Sprinkle with about one-third of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat this layering process two more times, ending with a final layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake: Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until bubbly and the noodles are cooked through.
