Ingredients
  

Chicken Mixture
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
Cheese Mixture
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
Other
  • 9-12 no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh chives or green onions for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Large bowl
  • Medium bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing in a large bowl, mixing until evenly coated.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix ricotta cheese, softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Layering Lasagna
  1. Spread a thin layer of the buffalo chicken mixture on the bottom of the prepared dish.
  2. Arrange 3-4 lasagna noodles over the chicken mixture, slightly overlapping.
  3. Dollop half of the remaining buffalo chicken mixture over the noodles, then spread half of the ricotta mixture and sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella.
  4. Place another layer of noodles on top and repeat the chicken, ricotta, and mozzarella layers.
  5. Top with a final layer of lasagna noodles; spread any remaining ricotta thinly, then generously sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella and extra Parmesan.
Baking and Serving
  1. Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  2. Remove foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly; broil for 2-3 minutes for extra browning if desired.
  3. Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving; optionally garnish with fresh chives or green onions.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture. You can assemble the lasagna ahead of time and refrigerate it. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the covered baking time if baking from cold.
