Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat thoroughly to ensure even cooking.
Mix the filling: In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, blue cheese, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well incorporated. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, and diced tomatoes until evenly coated.
Assemble the lasagna: Spread 1/4 of the chicken mixture at the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Top with four lasagna noodles. Spread another 1/4 of the chicken mixture over the noodles, then evenly distribute 1/3 of the cheese mixture across. Sprinkle with about 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat this layering process two more times to create three layers of noodles, finishing with a top layer of mozzarella cheese.
Finish baking: Cover the assembled lasagna tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the dish is bubbling and noodles are tender.

Notes

Allow the lasagna to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing to help it set and prevent it from falling apart.
Properly cool leftovers before storing to ensure even freezing and refrigeration.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. For longer storage, freeze in an airtight container for 2-3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
