- 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.

- 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.

BUFFALO CHICKEN LASAGNA
Grand Prize Winner from Taste of Home's Ultimate Potluck Recipe Contest (by Melissa Millwood). Made this for dinner last night and was skeptical, but it was delicious. A little spicy for kids (used Frank's Red Hot) but very well received by the adults. Didn't have any ground chicken so used shredded leftover turkey breast and would do so again! Also used 28 ounce can of ground tomatoes instead of 14 ounce diced and would do so again! Might yet experiment with cream cheese. Had neither fresh parsley nor Italian seasoning on hand and enjoyed it without.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in large sauté pan over medium heat and add garlic. Saute just until fragrant, then add cubed cream cheese and whisk in until melted and bubbly. Slowly whisk in wing sauce, tomato pate and chicken broth until smooth. Continue cooking until slightly thickened, remove from heat and set aside. If using regular lasagna noodles, prepare them according to package directions, cooking to just less than al dente and carefully drain. Spray a 8 inch square pan, then spread a very thin layer of sauce on the bottom. Layer noodles, chicken, cheese, and ranch until you've reached the top of the pan or you run out of ingredients. The top layer should have noodles, sauce and mozzarella cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in 375 oven for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Serve with a salad and lots of ranch or bleu cheese dressing.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, pasta sauce, and buffalo wing sauce.
- Spread half the sauce mixture in the bottom of a slow cooker sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cover with a layer of uncooked lasagna noodles (you will have to break them to get a proper fit).
- Spread half the ricotta cheese to the top of the noodles, then top with half the shredded cheeses and bell pepper.
- Repeat all layers.
- Sprinkle bleu cheese crumbles on top.
- Pour water over lasagna.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours.
- When cooking time is complete, unplug slow cooker and let sit for 10-20 minutes to cool down a little before serving.
Tips:
- Use a quality buffalo sauce. The buffalo sauce is the key ingredient in this lasagna, so make sure you use a good one. Look for a sauce that is made with real butter and hot peppers, and avoid sauces that are made with artificial flavors or colors.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the heat. If you like your food spicy, you can add more buffalo sauce to the recipe. If you're not sure how spicy you want it, start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Use a variety of cheeses. The combination of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses gives this lasagna a rich and flavorful taste. You can use other cheeses if you like, but these three are a classic combination.
- Let the lasagna rest before serving. This will help the lasagna to set and make it easier to cut.
Conclusion:
Buffalo chicken lasagna is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a party or a family meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new lasagna recipe, give this one a try!
