- 0.5 cup Green onions, chopped

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken and buffalo sauce, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Spread a thin layer of the ricotta mixture on the bottom of the baking dish.
Layer 4 cooked lasagna noodles over the ricotta mixture.
Spread a third of the buffalo chicken mixture on top of the noodles, followed by a third of the ricotta mixture.
Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the chicken and ricotta.
Repeat the layers twice more, ending with a thick layer of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbling and golden brown.
Remove the lasagna from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
