CHEESY BUFFALO CHICKEN LASAGNA



Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Lasagna image

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!

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 package Lasagna Noodles ((gluten-free or regular))
1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
½ large Yellow Onion (, peeled and chopped)
4 cups Shredded Chicken ((great use for rotisserie chicken or homemade shredded chicken))
25.5 ounce jar Marinara Tomato Sauce
12 ounce bottle Buffalo Wing Sauce ((medium heat recommended))
½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
½ teaspoon ground Black Pepper
15 ounce container Ricotta Cheese
1 3/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese (, grated)
1 3/4 cup Mild Cheddar cheese (, grated)
2 4- ounce containers Blue Cheese Crumbles
1/4 cup hot water
(Optional) Celery Sticks for side garnish

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.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ pounds bone-in chicken breasts with skin
2 cups chicken stock, or as needed
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
12 lasagna noodles
cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
½ onion, finely chopped
⅔ cup buffalo wing sauce
½ cup crumbled blue cheese
1 (16 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 cup blue cheese dressing
1 egg
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese

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.

When you're ready to serve, reheat the lasagna in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 30-40 minutes, or until it's heated through.
  • If you don't have any ranch dressing mix, you can make your own by combining 1 tablespoon dried buttermilk, 1 tablespoon dried parsley, 1 tablespoon dried chives, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • To make the lasagna more spicy, add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the buffalo sauce.
  • If you don't have any cooked chicken, you can cook some chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat until they're cooked through. Then, shred the chicken and use it in the lasagna.
  • To make the lasagna vegetarian, omit the chicken and add an extra cup of vegetables, such as chopped bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms.
