  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese

👨‍🍳 How to Make Buffalo Chicken Lasagna with Ranch

Step 1 – Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2 – Mix Chicken and Buffalo Sauce:

In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with Buffalo sauce, ensuring the chicken is well coated.

Step 3 – Prepare the Cheese Mixture:

In a separate bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 4 – Layer the Lasagna:

  • Spread a layer of Buffalo chicken mixture in the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Add a layer of cooked lasagna noodles.
  • Spoon on the ricotta ranch mixture, then sprinkle mozzarella and crumbled blue cheese over the top.
  • Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.

Step 5 – Bake:

  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Add cooked beef for extra smoky flavor.
  • Substitute blue cheese with more mozzarella if you prefer milder flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce to control the heat level.
  • Serve with celery sticks or a side salad to cool down the spice.
