So, tonight we all had a try at Buffalo Chicken Lasagna. I actually prepped this on Monday in the slow cooker so it would be already to go on Tuesday morning (before I went to work). I thought that this sounded like such a neat receipe. I love pasta and I love buffalo chicken wings. Two of my favorite foods combined in one, I knew I had to try it.
Ingredients:
~ uncooked lasagna noodles
~ 4 precooked chicken breasts
~ jar of prepared pasta sauce
~ 1 cup buffalo wing sauce
~ tub of ricotta cheese (15 oz.)
~ package of shredded mozzerella cheese
~ 1/4 cup of water (to add at the very end)
You can also use the following ingredients (I did not add them to mine as Im not a big fan of either):
~ 3 red, yellow,or orange bell peppers (not a fan of cooked peppers so I left these out)
~ 1/2 cup of bleu cheese crumbles
Directions:
Use at least a 5 qt. crockpot (or cut back on the ingredients)
In a large glass bowl, combine cooked and chopped chicken breast, pasta sauce, and 1 cup of buffalo sauce.
Ladle a big spoonful of the sauce into the bottom of your crockpot. Cover with a layer of uncooked lasagana noodles.
Add ricotta cheese to the top of the noodles. If desired, add a handful of the bell peppers. In addition, add a handful of the mozzerlla cheese.
Repeat the layers until your run out of the ingredients.
If desired, add the 1/4 cup of the bleu cheese. In the empty pasta jar, add 1/4 cup water, shake, and pour the liquid of the entire top of the lasgana.
Cover and cook.
Low setting~ 6 to 7 hourse
High setting~ 4-5 hours
I cooked mine for 4.5 on high and it seemed to cook enough in my crockpot.
So, how did the meal fair with my family?
We all seemed to love it. Everyone had a big plate of it and it was all eatten up. The spice of the buffalo sauce really comes through the pasta sauce. It was a nice change from the traditional lasgana and will be added to our cooking rotation.
I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did.
