Buffalo Chicken Lasagna

Yes. You read the title correct. Today, I am going to share with you an incredible buffalo chicken lasagna recipe.

For the first time in my entire life, I am actually totally and utterly proud of myself. This recipe literally came to me in a day dream when my boyfriend asked me to think of something fun and new for dinner. I would go into the dream, but then you might think I’m a little strange… so let’s just pretend I’m a complete genius, okay?

The recipe starts with a delicious buffalo chicken mixture and it’s layered between strips of pasta and a delicious blue cheese bechamel sauce (yes I invented that). I can’t get over how good it was an I am so excited for you to try this for your friends and family.

Side note, this recipe isn’t the healthiest, but it’s okay to splurge and cheat every once in a while, right? The whole recipe serves about 10 people, so it’s actually not as bad as you might think.

Buffalo Chicken Lasagna

The recipe starts with a delicious buffalo chicken mixture and it’s layered between strips of pasta and a delicious blue cheese bechamel sauce! 

Prep Time10 mins

Cook Time1 hr 25 mins

Total Time1 hr 35 mins

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: American, Italian

Keyword: Blue Cheese, Buffalo Chicken, Lasagna

Servings: 10

Ingredients

• 13 x 9 Pan
• 2 boxes No Boil Lasagna Sheets you won’t use them all
• 2 Chicken Breasts boneless skinless; boiled and shredded
• 1 jar Your Favorite Hot Sauce I used Frank's RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce-12 oz
• 1 cup Cheddar Cheese grated

Sauce

• 5 tbsp Butter
• 4 tbsp Flour
• 4 cups Milk
• 2 tsp Salt
• 4 oz Blue Cheese
• Pepper to taste

Instructions

• Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
• To make your bechamel sauce, heat the butter over medium-low heat in a medium sauce pan until melted. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Turn the heat up to medium and cook until the mixture turns a light, golden color (about 5 minutes).

  Meanwhile, heat the 4 cups of milk in a separate pot until hot (not boiling). Add the hot milk, 1 cup at a time, to the butter/flour mix and whisk continuously until smooth. Bring to a boil. Cook 10 minutes, stirring constantly, then remove from heat and add your blue cheese and salt. Stir until most of it has melted. Add pepper to taste.
• Mix the boiled chicken, 1/2 cup of the cheddar and the jar of hot sauce together in a bowl, set aside.
  
• Make the lasagna! This part is simple. Start with a layer of your white sauce on the bottom and then layer as follows:

  -Pasta

  -Buffalo chicken mix

  -Pasta

  -White sauce

  Repeat this 3 times until you are out of mixture. Your last layer should be pasta covered with the white sauce. Make sure to save enough white sauce for the end or the top of the lasagna could get a little crunchy (may not be a bad thing though)!
• Cover the entire pan in tinfoil and bake for 1 hour. Uncover, top with remaining cheese and bake for 10 more minutes.

Please do me (and yourself) a favor and try this recipe and share it with EVERYONE you know! I promise, you will be a hero.
