Ingredients
Scale
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- ½ cup buffalo wing sauce (halal-certified)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup ranch or halal blue cheese dressing
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
- In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until well coated.
- In another bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

- Layer 3 noodles, then half the ricotta mixture, half the buffalo chicken, a drizzle of ranch, and a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
- Repeat with another layer: noodles, ricotta, chicken, ranch, and cheese.
- Top with final 3 noodles, remaining cheese, and a little extra buffalo sauce if desired.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10–15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with green onions or parsley.
Notes
- Note: The title mentions serves 3, but the recipe yields about 6–8 servings. Adjust portions as needed.
- This dish pairs well with celery sticks, carrot sticks, a simple green salad, and/or garlic bread.
- For a milder casserole, reduce buffalo sauce; for extra heat, add more to taste.
- Vegetable options to fold into the layers include spinach, mushrooms, diced zucchini, bell peppers, or onions.
- Lasagna can be assembled ahead and refrigerated for up to 1 day, or frozen for longer storage.
- If using regular ranch dressing, ensure it aligns with dietary preferences (halal options available).
