Description
A comforting twist on classic lasagna, combining creamy ranch flavors with zesty buffalo sauce and layers of tender pasta.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces lasagna noodles
- 3 ½ cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 packet ranch seasoning
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- ½ cup milk
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Optional: ranch dressing
- Optional: green onions, chopped
- Optional: blue cheese crumbles
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, milk, cheddar cheese, and 1 ½ cups of the mozzarella cheese. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
- Cook the Lasagna Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a clean surface to prevent sticking.
- Assemble the Lasagna: Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Lay down a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by another layer of the cheese mixture. Top with a generous layer of shredded chicken. Repeat the layers, ending with a final layer of the cheese mixture. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the last layer.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.
- Rest and Serve: Let the lasagna rest for 8–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with optional toppings such as ranch dressing, chopped green onions, or blue cheese crumbles.
Notes
Make-Ahead Advantage: Prepare the lasagna a day in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Bake it when you’re ready.
