Cheesy buffalo chicken lasagna features tender pieces of rotisserie chicken tossed with ranch seasoning and buffalo sauce nestled in layers of pasta and cheese. It’s a rich, cheesy meal made to feed a crowd, whether it’s a hearty family dinner or the star of the next neighborhood potluck.

Since my husband has Italian roots, we are no strangers to lasagna.

Of course, it’s normally a more traditional lasagna with layers of pasta, sauce, ricotta, and mozzarella.

But if y’all haven’t tried this delicious cheesy buffalo chicken lasagna as a twist on the norm, then you’re all missing out.

I make this indulgent meal anytime I want to show my hubs and sons just how much I appreciate them.

And there’s no better show of appreciation than layers of lasagna pasta spread with a rich, creamy ranch and buffalo seasoned chicken and cheese mixture.

It’s a beautiful, extra cheesy lasagna that fans of classic lasagna, ranch, and buffalo chicken will all adore!

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

Lasagna noodles– Cooked to al dente
Chicken– Chopped or shredded rotisserie chicken. Don’t have rotisserie? Use any leftover roast or even grilled chicken you have.
Ranch seasoning– The kind in the packet
Cream cheese– Soften it to room temperature on the counter before using it
Buffalo sauce– Your favorite brand. You could also use hot sauce instead.
Milk– Whole will yeild the creamiest results
Cheese– Both cheddar and mozzarella
Optional garnish– Ranch dressing, blue cheese crumbles, and sliced green onions

How to Make

This buffalo chicken lasagna isn’t that difficult to make!

Basically you make filling, layer the lasagna, and then bake it.

To make the filling mix the cream cheese, ranch, buffalo sauce, milk, & 1 1/2 cups of each cheese together in your stand mixer until everything is evenly combined.

Spread 1/4 of the cheese mixture evenly out over the bottom of a 9×13″ pan you sprayed liberally with nonstick spray.

Cover the cheese layer with a layer of pasta, overlapping the noodles as necessary to create an even layer.

Spread another 1/4 of the cheese mixture evenly out over the pasta.

This time, top the cheese layer with half the chicken.

Then repeat this process with another layer of pasta, cheese mixture, and chicken.

Top the last layer of chicken with the remaining noodles and spread the rest of the cheese mixture evenly out over top.

Cover the dish tightly with foil.

Bake the lasagna at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.

After 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake it for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is hot and bubbly.

Once the cheesy is nice and bubbly, remove the lasagna from the oven.

Let the lasagna rest for 8-10 minutes.

Slice and serve, topped with a drizzle of ranch, sliced green onions, and blue cheese crumbles.

Enjoy!

Storing Leftovers

Store leftovers either tightly wrapped in foil in the pan you baked it in or transfer it to an airtight container.

Refrigerate it for up 4 days and reheat in a hot oven or individual pieces in the microwave until warmed through.

Tips and Tricks

The lasagna will only be as spicy as the buffalo sauce you choose. Pick according to your family’s taste.
You can substitute all cheddar or all mozzarella for the combination of cheeses.
Don’t want to layer lasagna noodles? Use 12 ounces of cooked ziti or penne instead and stir it together with the chicken and buffalo cheese mixture before baking.
