Instructions

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the lasagna.
Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, crumbled blue cheese, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside. In another bowl, mix shredded cooked chicken with buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, and diced tomatoes until evenly coated.
Assemble Lasagna: Spoon one-fourth of the chicken mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Layer 4 lasagna noodles over the chicken, then add another quarter of the chicken mixture, a third of the cheese mixture, and sprinkle with about one-third of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat this layering process two more times to create three layers, finishing with a layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake: Cover the assembled lasagna tightly with aluminum foil, then bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes or until bubbling and the noodles are tender. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Properly cooling the lasagna before storing helps it freeze and reheat evenly.
Leftovers can be stored airtight in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
Freeze for 2-3 months in an airtight container; thaw fully in the fridge before reheating.
