  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened Reduced-fat can be used for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce Adjust based on spice preference.
  • 0.5 cup milk Use low-fat for a lower calorie option.
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded Lower-fat versions are available.
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded Part-skim mozzarella keeps it lighter.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, milk, cheddar cheese, and 1 ½ cups of mozzarella cheese. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay flat to prevent sticking.
Assembly
  1. Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Lay down a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by another layer of the cheese mixture on top of the noodles.
  3. Add a layer of shredded chicken, followed by repeating the layers until all ingredients are used.
  4. Finish with the cheese mixture and sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the final layer.
Baking
  1. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden.
Serving
  1. Let the lasagna rest for 8–10 minutes before slicing to allow the layers to set.
  2. Garnish with optional toppings such as ranch dressing, green onions, or blue cheese crumbles.
