Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 X 13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven; cook the chicken, celery and carrot over medium heat, until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are soft. Stir in garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add undrained tomatoes, hot sauce, water, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover; simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, while sauce is cooking, cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions; drain.
In a small bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 3/4 c. blue cheese, 2 c. Mozzarella and the beaten egg.
Spread 1/2 c. sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. In this dish, layer 3 noodles, 1/3 of the sauce, and 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Repeat this step twice for remaining layers. Sprinkle the top with remaining 2 c. Mozzarella cheese. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake 20 minutes; uncover; bake for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly and center is hot. Remove from oven. Immediately sprinkle top with remaining 3/4 c. blue cheese. Allow to stand 10 minutes.
Serve.
