Share:
Ingredients
- 12 ounces penne or any medium pasta
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 10.5 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup 1 can
- ¾ cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup milk
- ½ cup buffalo sauce divided
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- 2-3 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 2 green onions sliced
- 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13 pan.
- Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions and set aside.
- While pasta is cooking, combine sour cream, soup, cream cheese, milk, ¼ cup of buffalo sauce, and ranch seasoning with a hand mixer (or spoon) until fully combined.
- In a large bowl, mix the chicken, pasta, sauce mixture, and half of each of the cheese. Spread into the prepared pan.
- Top with remaining cheese and bake for 30-35 minutes or until heated through.
- Top with remaining buffalo sauce and garnish with additional green onions if desired.
Notes
- Cook pasta just until al dente (firm) as it will cook more in the oven.
- We don't add salt to this recipe as we find the cheeses, ranch mix and soup have enough salt for our liking. As with all recipes, season with salt to taste.
- Prepared condensed chicken soup can be substituted with homemade condensed soup or 1 1/3 cup jarred alfredo sauce.
- We use rotisserie chicken but leftovers work too. This recipe can use between two to three cups of shredded chicken. We like to add 3 cups for heartier appetites.
- To substitute raw chicken breast, cut 1 lb chicken into bite-sized pieces, and season with salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Cook chicken in olive oil over medium-high heat until no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes.
