Make the cheese filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta and blue cheese crumbles.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta     Chicken

Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ pounds bone-in chicken breasts with skin
2 cups chicken stock, or as needed
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
12 lasagna noodles
cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
½ onion, finely chopped
⅔ cup buffalo wing sauce
½ cup crumbled blue cheese
1 (16 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 cup blue cheese dressing
1 egg
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a single layer in a large pot and add enough chicken stock to cover; season with paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper. Bring stock to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Shred chicken.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain. Arrange noodles on a sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper and spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir celery and onion until just starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine onion mixture and shredded chicken in a bowl; add about 1/3 the buffalo wing sauce and blue cheese and mix well.
  • Mix ricotta cheese, blue cheese dressing, and remaining buffalo wing sauce in a separate bowl; season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Stir egg into mixture.
  • Spread a layer of ricotta mixture in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish; top with a layer of 3 noodles. Spread 1/4 of the remaining ricotta mixture over noodle layer; top with 1/3 the chicken mixture, and 1/4 the mozzarella cheese. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over cheese layer and repeat layering 2 times more ending with a layer of ricotta mixture and mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and top is lightly browned, about 45 minutes. Cool lasagna at least 20 minutes before cutting.

Easy Buffalo Chicken Lasagna image

I threw this together one day when I cooked too many lasagna noodles. It has since become a family favorite in my house. You can add more Franks if you want it spicy, this version has just the right amount of zip.

Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (10 ounce) cans chicken breasts
2/3 cup Frank's red hot sauce
8 ounces bar softened cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 (12 ounce) box lasagna noodles (or penne or rotini for the easier version)
1/2 ounce Hidden Valley Ranch dip (dry...only use half!)

Steps:

  • Boil noodles, preheat oven to 350.
  • In one bowl, mix together chicken and Franks, allowing chicken to shred a little.
  • In a separate bowl, mix butter, cream cheese, sour cream and dry ranch dressing.
  • Spray a large baking pan with cooking spray. Layer noodles, chicken, cream cheese mixture. Repeat until ingredients are gone. Top with shredded cheddar, cover with foil and bake on 350 for 30-40 minutes.
  • Quicker option that tastes the same? Skip the lasagna noodles, use penne or rotini. Dump the cooked noodles in the sprayed pan, layer chicken on it, then the cream cheese mixture, the ingredients will get slightly blended in this step, which is perfect. Top with shredded cheese, cover with foil and bake. Tastes exactly like the lasagna and saves about 15 minutes of prep time.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lasagna noodles: No-boil lasagna noodles are easiest to work with, but you can also use regular lasagna noodles if you boil them according to the package directions before assembling the lasagna.
  • Make sure the buffalo chicken mixture is well-seasoned: The buffalo chicken mixture is the star of the show in this lasagna, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a generous amount of buffalo sauce, and add some additional spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper, to taste.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Lasagna is all about the cheese, so don't be afraid to use plenty of it. A combination of mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan cheeses is a classic choice, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as cheddar or fontina.
  • Bake the lasagna until it's bubbly and golden brown: The lasagna is done baking when it's bubbly around the edges and the cheese is golden brown on top. This usually takes about 30 minutes, but it may take longer depending on your oven.
  • Let the lasagna rest before serving: Once the lasagna is out of the oven, let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the lasagna to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Buffalo chicken lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering. With its spicy buffalo chicken filling, creamy cheese sauce, and crispy lasagna noodles, this lasagna is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
