My family loves anything buffalo. They also love lasagna. My Buffalo Chicken Lasagna is the perfect “mashup” of the two. A little spicy, easy to make and very yummy.
As with all my recipes I try to make them easy and convenient as possible. For the chicken I bought two packages of bone-in chicken breasts. Season the chicken with salt, pepper and a little blackened seasoning. Bake for 40 minutes at 350° or check out how to boil chicken for these dishes on my post White Chicken Chili. To make the recipe even easier you could substitute a rotisserie chicken from the store.
In all of my lasagna recipes I tend to use Bariilla oven ready no boil noodles. If you have not tried these, they are great. They save the step of cooking the noodles and the messy task of spreading your ricotta cheese mixture over slippery noodles. (TIP: spread ricotta cheese mixture on one side of the uncooked noodle. Clean and easy.)
If you have time, simmer the sauce and chicken for 45 minutes before assembling the lasagna, for added flavor. Serve with some fresh broccoli and crescent rolls.
Directions for Buffalo Chicken Lasagna:
Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, ranch dressing, beaten egg, sour cream and 3/4 cup of Italian cheese, set aside. In a pot, combine water, spaghetti sauce, wing sauce and chicken. Cover and heat over medium heat for 10 minutes. Spread approximately one cup of the sauce, chicken mixture across the bottom of the pan. Spread layer of cheese mixture on four noodles and layer over sauce.
Spread a layer of sauce over the noodles. Add another layer of noodles and repeat the process until you end with a layer of just the sauce, chicken mixture. Spread remaining shredded cheese over sauce.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 60 minutes. Remove from the oven, if desired sprinkle blue cheese evenly over the top. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, uncovered.
Makes 12 servings!
Enjoy!!

Who wouldn’t love this dish! We love buffalo sauce sandwiches so bring on the lasagne!

Wow, wow, wow! I could dive into that! My son (I call him the glutton) would eat a piece or two of that and then finish it off in the night! He loves anything buffalo! Great post!
The Culinary Jumble says
That looks so good! We can’t get buffalo sauce here (or most of your ingredients, actually) but I could make my own! Always looking for alternatives to favourites and I much prefer chicken to mince!
Quinn Caudill says
Can you get Frank’s hot sauce or any hot sauce? If so buffalo sauce is 2 parts hot sauce to 1 part melted butter. I’m always trying to change up our favorites. My kids are good sports most of the time. :)))
The Culinary Jumble says
Not sure – will have a look next time I’m in the supermarket because they have some American food there – might strike it lucky! If not, improvise!
