### **Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients**

**Cook the Lasagna Noodles**

• Start by cooking the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Aim for al dente noodles to prevent them from becoming too soft or soggy during baking. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside.

**Preheat the Oven**

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the lasagna cooks evenly and the cheese melts to perfection.

**Shred the Chicken**

• If you haven’t already shredded your cooked chicken, do so now. You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience, or cook your chicken breasts and shred them with a fork or by hand.

### **Step 2: Mix the Buffalo Chicken Filling**

**Buffalo Chicken Mixture**

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing. Stir well to coat the chicken thoroughly in the sauce mixture. You can adjust the buffalo sauce to suit your preferred spice level—add more for a spicier kick or less for a milder version.

**Ricotta Mixture**

• In another bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This mixture will add a rich, cheesy layer to the lasagna.

### **Step 3: Assemble the Lasagna**

**Buffalo Sauce Layer**

• Start by spreading a thin layer of buffalo sauce at the bottom of your baking dish. This will help prevent the lasagna from sticking to the dish and adds extra flavor to the bottom layer.

**Lasagna Noodles**

• Lay down a layer of cooked lasagna noodles over the buffalo sauce. Arrange them neatly to cover the entire bottom of the dish.

**Buffalo Chicken Layer**

• Spread a portion of the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the noodles. Make sure to distribute it well so that every bite has plenty of the flavorful chicken.

**Ricotta Mixture Layer**

• Add a layer of the ricotta mixture over the buffalo chicken, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the chicken completely.

**Cheese Layer**

• Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese over the ricotta layer. The cheese will melt beautifully during baking, creating a deliciously gooey, golden topping.

**Repeat the Layers**

• Repeat the layering process: add more noodles, buffalo chicken mixture, ricotta mixture, and shredded cheese, until you’ve used up all the ingredients. Finish with a final layer of cheese on top.

**Garnish**

• For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle chopped green onions on top of the lasagna.

### **Step 4: Bake and Serve**

**Cover and Bake**

• Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil to keep the moisture in. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

**Uncover and Bake More**

• After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes. This will allow the cheese to melt and turn golden brown.

**Rest the Lasagna**

• Once baked, remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the layers to set and makes it easier to slice.

**Serve**

• Slice the lasagna into squares and serve hot. You can drizzle a little extra buffalo sauce over the top for added flavor.
