Buffalo Chicken Lasagna- Houston Chronicle

I made this last night and we enjoyed it very much-but then I like "buffalo" anything. It was easy enough for a weeknight meal. I only made a half recipe.

Buffalo Chicken Lasagna
12 pieces lasagna, uncooked
Vegetable oil cooking spray
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, diced
4 cups low-sodium spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 cups water
2 to 3 tablespoons hot sauce

2 tablespoons vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 (15-ounce) container part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup egg substitute
3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

Serves 10



Spray a large skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken; sauté 4 minutes. Drain well. Stir in spaghetti sauce, water, hot sauce, vinegar and garlic salt.

In a small bowl, combine ricotta cheese and egg substitute. Set aside. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Spread 1 cup of the sauce over the bottom of the pan. Arrange 4 pieces of lasagna (3 lengthwise, 1 widthwise) over the sauce. Cover with 1 1/2 cups of the sauce. Spread half the ricotta mixture on top. Arrange another 4 pieces of lasagna over ricotta, and top with another 1 1/2 cups of sauce. Spread remaining ricotta mixture on top. Arrange final 4 pieces of lasagna over ricotta mixture and cover with remaining sauce.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover lasagna with foil and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes. Uncover lasagna, sprinkle blue cheese on top and bake an additional 5 minutes uncovered. Cover and let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Cook's notes:

This delicious lasagna is especially quick, because you don't need to cook the lasagna before assembling.

Interesting. Like you, I'm into all things buffalo. Thanks for posting.

It is also still great reheated in the microwave!

[donleyk]

Nice. I may make the full pan then and freeze portions for quick lunches. Thanks again!

I'll have to try it, too! It's a lot fewer calories than most things "Buffalo!"
