Ingredients
- 12 ounces lasagna noodles
- 3 1/2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded

Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, milk, cheddar, and mozzarella until smooth and well combined.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, toss the shredded rotisserie chicken with the packet of ranch seasoning and buffalo sauce until fully coated.
- Step 3: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Step 4: Start layering by spreading a thin layer of the cheese mixture on the bottom of the dish to prevent sticking.

- Step 6: Spread half of the cheese mixture over the chicken layer. Sprinkle with some extra cheese if desired.
- Step 7: Repeat the layers: noodles, remaining chicken mixture, remaining cheese mixture, and additional noodles on top.
- Step 8: Finish by spreading the remaining cheese mixture over the top layer of noodles and sprinkle with extra cheese for a golden crust.
- Step 9: Cover the dish tightly with foil, making sure it doesn’t touch the cheese, and bake for 45 minutes.
- Step 10: Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Step 11: Allow the lasagna to rest for 8-10 minutes before slicing to let the layers set for cleaner servings.
- Step 12: Serve with optional ranch dressing, green onions, and blue cheese crumbles for added flavor and garnish.
