# Preparation Steps:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese with ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, milk, cheddar cheese, and 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese until smooth and uniform.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and arrange flat to avoid sticking.

Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Place a layer of cooked noodles over the cheese mixture. Add a layer of cheese mixture, then a layer of shredded chicken. Repeat layering, finishing with cheese mixture on top. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella over the final layer.

Cover the baking dish securely with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and golden.

Allow the lasagna to rest for 8 to 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with ranch dressing, chopped green onions, or blue cheese crumbles as desired.
