– 1 cup ricotta cheese
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
Creating Buffalo Chicken Lasagna is straightforward with these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is thoroughly coated.
4. Blend Ricotta: In another bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, and half of the Parmesan cheese until well incorporated. Set aside.
5. Layer the Ingredients: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a small amount of buffalo sauce on the bottom. Begin layering:
– Place three noodles at the bottom.
– Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
– Add half of the buffalo chicken mixture on top.
– Sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
– Repeat the layers with another set of noodles, ricotta, buffalo chicken, and cheeses.
– Finish with a third layer of noodles, the remaining buffalo sauce, and top with the remaining cheeses and Parmesan.
6. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
7. Cooling: Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes to set.
8. Slice and Serve: Cut into squares and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Each step is crucial to ensuring that your Buffalo Chicken Lasagna comes out perfectly, with all flavors beautifully melded together.
