    Why You Will Love this Recipe

    The noodles don't need to be precooked at all. The noodles cook in the oven inside all the delicious buffalo sauce.

    The chicken also doesn't need to be precooked at all either but feel free to use leftover rotisserie chicken if you like!

    Another time-saving shortcut I use to make this lasagna is to cook some chicken breasts in my Instant Pot. The chicken breasts are done in 20 minutes and are easy to shred. Make the sauce, cheese mixture, and layer everything in the pan. Boom, done. Now all you have to do is be patient and wait for an hour. There's just something about buffalo chicken though. It's like cauliflower and can be turned into anything or made into any recipe!

    Ingredients Needed

    ingredients needed to make buffalo chicken lasagna
    • Wheat Lasagna Noodles, uncooked
    • Skinless chicken breast, cooked and cubed - They’re lean and quick-cooking and always come out juicy and tender. Use an instant-read thermometer to make sure that the chicken is not over cooked.  When reading labels for chicken breasts try to find ones that say Organic or Free Range. 
    • Crushed tomatoes or Marinara Sauce - you can also take a can of whole peeled tomatoes and blend them up in a blender or use a jar of your favorite Marinara sauce
    • Franks Buffalo Wing Sauce - The main star of the recipe!
    • Low fat ricotta cheese - low fat cottage cheese can also be used for a substitute, also helps reduce the amount of calories in the recipe
    • Egg substitutes such as Egg Beaters or 1 egg
    • Pepper jack cheese, or blue cheese - Reduced-Fat Cheese has a lower calorie count and less saturated fat than regular cheese, but it may also have a different taste and texture. It also helps with keeping the calorie count pretty low for this recipe.

    What can I serve lasagna? 

    • Salad: Get a bag of Ceasar salad from the grocery store and mix it up at home. This is the only way to make a Ceasar Salad. 🙂
    • Starches:  Make some homemade easy cheesy garlic bread sticks or garlic bread
    • Vegetables: Smoked potatoes or smoked asparagus is a great side dish to have with salmon.

    Recipe FAQs

    How can I jazz up lasagna?

    If you like buffalo wing sauce like I do, make this recipe for buffalo chicken lasagna. It's easy and the noodles bake in the oven!

    What should the last layer of lasagna be?

    The last layer of lasagna should always be the cheese and whatever leftover ricotta or cottage cheese mixture there is.

    How Do I Store Leftovers? 

    Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic,  whatever!  Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container before putting it in the freezer or fridge. 
    This can be prepped the day ahead.

      I wonder about trying the lasagna with the Palmini lasagna noodles. Any advice? It would bring the points down since they are Zero on there own 🙂

      I don't like ricotta cheese. So what can I use instead?

      Sorry, I updated the recipe ingredients a couple of days ago but forgot the instructions. This recipe is very versatile and you can use either or. It is fixed now.

      So confused
      The instructions say “spaghetti sauce,” yet the ingredients list crushed tomatoes. Then the ingredients list pepper jack, but the instructions mention blue cheese crumble.
      I’m lost

      So you put uncooked noodles in the layers?

      Any recommendations for someone who doesn't like Spaghetti Sauce. I like plain hunts tomato sauce, but I'm afraid that will overwhelm the buffalo.

      Good idea cooking the chicken with the lasagna!

      I made this Buffalo Chicken Lasagna for the first time this week and it was a hit with the family!! I reduced the water to 1 cup only as I don't like my lasagna too watery. And to save time, I didn't pre-cook the chicken. No need, as it cooks beautifully with the lasagna! And I changed up the blue cheese to a light mozzerella. It came out perfect and was soooo deelish. I'll be making it again and again for sure. Thank you!
