Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 ounces lasagna noodles
  • 3 1/2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Optional Toppings

  • Ranch dressing
  • Green onions, chopped
  • Blue cheese crumbles

Instructions

  1. Mix Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, milk, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Mix thoroughly until well blended and spreadable.
  2. Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a separate bowl, toss the shredded rotisserie chicken with the remaining ranch seasoning and buffalo sauce if desired, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated.
  3. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly spray or grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  4. Layer the Lasagna: Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture on the bottom of the baking dish to prevent sticking. Then place a layer of lasagna noodles without overlapping them. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the shredded chicken evenly on top.
  5. Add Next Layers: Repeat the layering process: another layer of noodles, the remaining cheese mixture, and the remainder of the shredded chicken. Finish with a final layer of noodles on top.
  6. Top with Cheese: Spread the remaining cheese mixture over the top layer of noodles and sprinkle with extra shredded cheese for a golden crust. Optionally, add blue cheese crumbles at this stage for added flavor.
  7. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil, ensuring it does not touch the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven at 375°F for 45 minutes to heat through and melt the cheese.
  8. Uncover and Brown: Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes. This will brown the top layer of cheese and create a bubbly, golden crust.
  9. Rest Before Serving: Take the lasagna out of the oven and let it rest for 8 to 10 minutes. This helps the layers set and makes for cleaner slicing.
  10. Serve and Garnish: Cut into squares and optionally drizzle with ranch dressing or extra buffalo sauce. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and additional blue cheese crumbles if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Can be made ahead of time; assemble and refrigerate before baking.
  • Freezes well before baking for up to 3 months.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to control spice level.
  • Letting the lasagna rest after baking is key to neat slices.
  • For best melting, shred your own cheeses rather than using pre-shredded.
