Shortcut: skip
Make the sauce. Blend the cottage cheese, Parmesan, milk and a pinch of each sauce seasoning until smooth. Thin it with a little more milk if needed.
Cook the chicken. Coat a skillet with cooking spray and set it over medium high heat. Cook the chicken about 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until it reaches 165°F. Toss it with the ¼ cup buffalo sauce.
Shortcut: heat instead
Layer. Heat the oven to 350°F and spread a thin layer of sauce in a baking dish. Add 3 noodles, more sauce, half the chicken and half the mozzarella. Repeat once.
Bake. Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 5 to 10 minutes more, until the cheese is golden.
Top and cut. Drizzle with the 4 tsp buffalo sauce and the ranch yogurt. Sprinkle with parsley and cut into 4 pieces.

Skip the cooking

Use 1 lb Chicken Crumbles instead

They come fully cooked and seasoned with garlic, sea salt and spice, so step 1 goes away. Thaw them in the fridge overnight. In step 3, heat them in the skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until they reach 165°F. Toss them with the buffalo sauce and layer as written.
