Buffalo Chicken Lasagna with a Ranch Twist
Creamy, spicy Buffalo Chicken Lasagna with a zesty ranch twist for a flavorful comfort meal
Prep Time 25 minutes mins
Cook Time 45 minutes mins
Total Time 1 hour hr 10 minutes mins
Main Layers 9–12 lasagna noodles (no-boil or cooked)
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken rotisserie works great
- 1 cup Buffalo wing sauce
- 1 cup ranch dressing
Cheese Mixture 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella
- ½ cup blue cheese crumbles optional
Toppings 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes optional, for extra heat
Step 2: Make the Buffalo Chicken Mixture
Step 3: Make the Ranch-Ricotta Mixture
In another bowl, mix ricotta cheese, ranch dressing, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. For extra richness, add a spoon of cream cheese or mozzarella. The texture should be smooth but spreadable — creamy, cool, and slightly tangy.
Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna
Spread a thin layer of buffalo sauce on the bottom of your dish. Add noodles, buffalo chicken mixture, ranch-ricotta mix, mozzarella, and a sprinkle of blue cheese. Repeat layers until full, finishing with mozzarella on top for that melty, golden crust.
Step 5: Bake & Finish
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake another 15–20 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and lightly golden at the edges. For perfect doneness, check that the internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C).
