Follow The Directions

01

Step

Poach the Chicken: Place chicken in a large pot, cover with chicken stock, and season with paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Shred the chicken.

02

Step

Cook the Lasagna Noodles: Cook lasagna noodles in boiling, salted water until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and lay flat on foil or parchment paper, spraying with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

03

Step

Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add celery and onion, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

04

Step

Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

05

Step

Combine Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the sautéed vegetables, 1/3 of the wing sauce, and blue cheese.

06

Step

Prepare Ricotta Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, blue cheese dressing, and the remaining 2/3 of the wing sauce. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Stir in the egg.

07

Step

Layer the Lasagna: In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a layer of the ricotta mixture. Top with 3 lasagna noodles, followed by 1/4 of the remaining ricotta mixture, 1/3 of the chicken mixture, and 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layering twice more, ending with a layer of ricotta mixture and mozzarella cheese.

08

Step

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned. Let it cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in buffalo wing sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Feel free to adjust the amount of buffalo wing sauce to control the level of spiciness.
If you prefer a smoother ricotta mixture, blend the ingredients together in a food processor until creamy.
To prevent the top layer from browning too quickly, cover the lasagna with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
This lasagna is even better the next day, as the flavors have time to meld together.

    Next time, I'll add a little more blue cheese. It wasn't quite as strong as I wanted it to be.
