Amy needed a fun meal. I had chicken defrosted. What better than Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese. This was a variation on a few other recipes I saw
Ingredients:
2 Boneless Chicken Breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 lb cooked elbow pasta, warm if using leftover
8 oz soft cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
1 package hidden valley ranch mix
about 2 cups shredded cheese
about 1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4-1/2 cup favorite hot sauce
Other inclusions if you like*
1. Cook the chicken over medium high heat until golden brown and just cooked through
2. Cook pasta according to directions
3. In large bowl mix cream cheese, sour cream, blue cheese, ranch mix, about 1 cup shredded cheese together until well blended
4. Add chicken and pasta to the cheese mixture and bring together
* If you are adding anything else to mix it up, include now if it is something that you want mixed in - examples could include any variety of cooked veg such as spinach, broccoli, green beans, peas
* I also had tomatoes with this but we put them over the top afterwards. I was worried about them watering down the mixture in the oven
5. Put in a 13x9 pyrex dish that you've coated with spray. Smooth it out.
6. Cover with more cheese, more hot sauce if you like, and some bread crumbs
7. Cook for about 20 mins until breadcrumbs start to brown and cheese is bubbling
Eat!
