Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12 ounces lasagna noodles
  • 3.5 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded Use fresh rotisserie chicken for enhanced flavor.
Cheese Mixture
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for smooth mixing.
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded Consider using smoked cheddar for extra flavor.
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
Optional Toppings
  • ranch dressing
  • green onions, chopped
  • blue cheese crumbles

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, milk, cheddar cheese, and 1.5 cups of mozzarella cheese until smooth and well combined.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Drain and lay flat to prevent sticking.
Assembly
  1. Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Lay down a layer of cooked lasagna noodles on top, followed by another layer of the cheese mixture and shredded chicken.
  3. Repeat these layers until you reach the top, finishing with the cheese mixture. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the final layer.
Baking
  1. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes.
  2. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the top is beautifully golden and browned.
Serving
  1. Let the lasagna rest for 8-10 minutes before slicing. Serve garnished with ranch dressing, chopped green onions, or blue cheese crumbles.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The lasagna can also be frozen for up to 3 months. For reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge and bake at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
