Ingredients
- 1 (10 ½ ounce) can condensed Cream of Chicken soup (NOT diluted)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons buffalo wing sauce (or more, to taste)
- 1 (1 ounce) packet dry ranch seasoning and salad dressing mix
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (I use a rotisserie chicken for this step)
- 6 ounces (about 2 cups) dry rotini pasta, cooked and drained
- 1 stalk celery, sliced (about ½ cup)
- ½ cup (about 4 ounces) grated Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, stir together condensed soup, softened cream cheese, milk, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch seasoning. Gently fold in chicken, cooked pasta and celery.
- Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over top.
- Cover tightly with foil or a lid, and bake for about 20-25 minutes (or until hot and bubbly and cheese is melted).
Notes
- This buffalo chicken casserole recipe only calls for 2 tablespoons of buffalo wing sauce, so it's not too spicy at all! I keep it mild so that it's family-friendly; however, if you prefer a hotter dish you can add more wing sauce, to taste.
- Swap out the can of cream of chicken soup for a can of the cream of celery flavor
- Make sure that you're starting with softened cream cheese so that you can easily stir it with the rest of the sauce ingredients. It's fine if you still have a few lumps in the sauce -- the cream cheese will melt smoothly in the oven! To soften the cream cheese, leave it sitting on the counter for a couple of hours to come to room temperature, or microwave for 15-30 seconds.
- I use a store-bought rotisserie chicken for a shortcut in this recipe.
- Instead of the cheddar, top your casserole with grated mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese.
- Make this casserole lighter by using low fat cream cheese, reduced fat cheddar cheese, and Campbell's Healthy Request condensed soup.
