Let's Make Magic

Prep Your Base
First, mix that shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and ranch seasoning—get it all coated good. In another bowl, blend your cheeses with ranch seasoning and a splash of milk—makes it easy to spread.
Get Your Station Ready
Grab your deepest baking dish, spray it good. Have all your components lined up—noodles, chicken mix, cheese mix, extra cheese for topping. Makes assembly way easier!
Start The Layers
Spread some sauce in your pan (prevents sticking). Lay down those noodles, don't overlap them. Spread half your chicken mixture right to the edges.
Cheese Time
Now go in with that cheese mixture, spread it gentle so layers stay separate. Sprinkle some extra cheese—because why not? Another layer of noodles, press down light.
Keep Building
Repeat those layers: chicken, cheese, noodles—just like before. Keep track; make sure you've got enough for all your layers. Last layer should be noodles.
Grand Finale
Top that last layer with all your remaining cheese mixture, plus extra cheese for good measure! Some people add blue cheese crumbles here—gets all fancy.
Baking Magic
Cover with foil tight, but don't let it touch that cheese! Into a 375°F oven for about 45 minutes—gets everything hot and melty.
Get It Golden
Last 10 minutes, take that foil off, let it get bubbly and golden brown on top. Watch close, don't let it burn!
Rest Is Best
Here's the hard part: let it rest 15-20 minutes! I know it smells amazing, but trust me, resting makes perfect slices—not messy ones.
Serve With Style
Cut into squares, drizzle with extra ranch or buffalo sauce if you want. Sprinkle with green onions—makes it look pro!
