Ingredients

– 1 cup Buffalo sauce
– 1 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup ricotta cheese

Instructions
Follow these steps to create your own Buffalo Chicken Lasagna:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook Noodles: In a large pot of boiling water, cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken with Buffalo sauce. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
4. Make Cheese Mixture: In another bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, ricotta cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Layering: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture on the bottom. Then, place three lasagna noodles on top.
6. Add Cheese: Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by another layer of chicken mixture. Sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
7. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process (noodles, cheese mixture, chicken mixture, and mozzarella) until you have used all the ingredients. Finish with a final layer of noodles topped with remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
8. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Cool: Once done, remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
10. Garnish: Optional, but recommended! Top with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
