Skillet or sauté pan

Aluminum foil
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken rotisserie works great
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce like Frank’s RedHot
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 9 lasagna noodles cooked and drained
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

- Chopped green onions or parsley for garnish
Step 1: Make the Buffalo Chicken
In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and ranch seasoning. Stir in softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Prepare the Ranch White Sauce
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer 4–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 3: Assemble the Lasagna
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of white sauce on the bottom of your baking dish. Layer noodles, buffalo chicken mixture, cheeses (mozzarella & cheddar), and more white sauce. Repeat layers, ending with cheese on top.
Step 4: Bake
Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10–15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Step 5: Garnish & Serve
Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Top with green onions or parsley for a fresh finish.
💡 Tips for Success Use no-boil lasagna noodles to save time. Adjust buffalo sauce amount for spice level. Let lasagna rest before slicing for cleaner cuts. Mix ranch into white sauce for extra tangy flavor.
