Instructions

Preparation

Cook the noodles if using regular lasagna noodles. If using oven-ready noodles, check the box for liquid requirements.
In a large bowl, mix softened cream cheese, ricotta, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Fold in the shredded chicken and a handful of mozzarella.
Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a 9×13 baking dish.

Assembly

Spread a thin layer of the buffalo ranch mixture on the bottom of the dish.
Add a layer of lasagna noodles.
Add more buffalo chicken filling, followed by mozzarella and cheddar.
Repeat the layers until ingredients are used up, finishing with cheese on top and a sprinkle of parmesan.

Baking

Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until bubbly and browned on top.
Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For extra texture, consider adding diced celery, chopped spinach, or roasted red peppers. Meal prep can be simplified by making the buffalo ranch chicken filling up to 2 days ahead before layering and baking it.
