Steps:
- Place chicken in a single layer in a large pot and add enough chicken stock to cover; season with paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper. Bring stock to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Shred chicken.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain. Arrange noodles on a sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper and spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir celery and onion until just starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Combine onion mixture and shredded chicken in a bowl; add about 1/3 the buffalo wing sauce and blue cheese and mix well.
- Mix ricotta cheese, blue cheese dressing, and remaining buffalo wing sauce in a separate bowl; season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Stir egg into mixture.
- Spread a layer of ricotta mixture in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish; top with a layer of 3 noodles. Spread 1/4 of the remaining ricotta mixture over noodle layer; top with 1/3 the chicken mixture, and 1/4 the mozzarella cheese. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over cheese layer and repeat layering 2 times more ending with a layer of ricotta mixture and mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and top is lightly browned, about 45 minutes. Cool lasagna at least 20 minutes before cutting.

CHEESY BUFFALO CHICKEN LASAGNA
A favorite football or party food, Buffalo Chicken Wings, reinvented in an easy to prepare lasagna! Gluten-free or gluten lasagna noodles may be used and do not have to be pre-boiled before layering together and baking the lasagna. A note about Buffalo Wing sauce: I recommend opting for a medium heat sauce. Many of the sauces rated 'hot' are miserably hot making for a painful eating experience. Medium sauces still are hot but allow tasting the rest of the flavors in the lasagna too! Additional hot wing sauce can always be added to a prepared serving if a diner really wants it searing hot!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the grated mild cheddar and Monterey jack cheeses in a mixing bowl; set aside.
- In a large skillet heat the oil over high heat and add onions. Cook while stirring until onions are translucent.
- Reduce heat to medium-high and add Marinara sauce and buffalo wing sauce. Stir to combine; add the shredded chicken. Bring the mixture to a low boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Spoon one third of the sauce mixture into the bottom of 13 x 9 x 3 inch baking pan. Spread to evenly cover the bottom of the baking dish.
- On top of the sauce, place four uncooked lasagna noodles (there will be space between them). Spread half of the ricotta cheese on the noodles. Sprinkle evenly with 1 cup of the grated cheese, followed by 4-ounces (1 container) of blue cheese crumbles.
- Repeat Steps 4 and 5 above.
- Place last four noodles on top of layered lasagna and cover with the remaining one third of the sauce. Gently pour the 1/4 cup hot water around the inside edges of the baking dish (between the noodles and inside edge of the baking dish). Note: if the water pools at the top of the lasagna, insert a dining knife or spatula between the edge of the lasagna and pan and pull gently toward the lasagna to open a space for the water to run down the sides of the pan. Smooth lasagna back into place. Cover tightly with two pieces of heavy duty foil. Bake for 50 minutes.
- Remove the lasagna from oven and remove the foil. Cover with the remaining grated cheese and place back in the oven, uncovered, to cook an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.
