Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Mixture
In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Mix the Ricotta Layer
In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, and ranch seasoning until well combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna

Spread a thin layer of the buffalo chicken mixture on the bottom of the baking dish.
Add a layer of lasagna noodles.
Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
Add a layer of buffalo chicken sauce, then sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
Repeat the layers, ending with cheese on top.

Step 5: Bake
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Step 6: Cool & Serve
Let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped green onions and an extra drizzle of ranch, if desired.

Notes

Use Oven-Ready Noodles – Saves time and makes layering easier.
Let It Rest Before Slicing – This helps keep the layers intact.
Adjust the Spice Level – Add more or less buffalo sauce to suit your taste.
