Description
Buffalo Chicken Lasagna is a rich, spicy, indulgent dinner or snack filled with all the flavor you can handle! Just imagine the ever popular Buffalo Chicken Dip layered between lasagna noodles and melted cheese then topped with blue cheese or ranch dressing. Delish!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 8 ounce cream cheese
- 1 cup buffalo wing sauce
- Hot pepper sauce such as Franks Red Hot or Tabasco (amount based on your own preference)
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (I baked chicken tenders in the oven covered with foil at 350 for 25 minutes for this recipe, but a rotisserie chicken would work very well too)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 8 ounce package of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 package of lasagna noodles, cooked according to package directions (do NOT use “no cook” noodles; they must be boiled and fully-cooked before building the lasagna)
Instructions
1. In a medium pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until butter is melted. Add the onions and cook until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes.
2. Cut the cream cheese into cubes and add to the pot. Stir well until completely melted then add in the buffalo sauce and a few dashes of hot pepper sauce to taste. Spoon a small amount of the buffalo and cream cheese sauce into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish and spread it around to cover the bottom of the dish. Stir the chicken into the sauce in the pot.
3. Place one layer of lasagna noodles in the bottom of the dish. Spread half of the chicken mixture over the noodles then drizzle with half of the ranch dressing. Add another layer of noodles and then the remaining chicken and ranch dressing. Place a final layer of lasagna noodles and then spread the cheese over the top.
4. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes (I bake it uncovered) until the cheese is melted. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing and maybe some carrot and celery sticks.
