Instructions
- Prep the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s properly heated for baking the lasagna.
- Mix the filling: In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, blue cheese, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended. In another bowl, mix shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, and diced tomatoes until evenly coated.
- Assemble the lasagna: Spread 1/4 of the chicken mixture evenly on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer four lasagna noodles over the chicken. Spread another 1/4 of the chicken mixture over the noodles, followed by one-third of the cheese mixture, then sprinkle with one-third of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with a final layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
- Finish baking: Cover the assembled lasagna tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes until bubbly and noodles are tender.
