Instructions
- Add the cooked shredded chicken to the bottom of a crock pot and pour entire packet of ranch dressing seasoning over top..
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese.
- Pour in milk, chicken broth, and buffalo sauce and stir to combine well..
- Cook for 2 hours on high or for 4 hours on low.
- Approximately 30 minutes before serving, boil water in a large pot and cook the noodles according to the package directions of al dente.
- Drain the pasta into a colander over the sink and then add the drained pasta to the slow cooker and stir to coat completely.
- Serve topped with blue cheese crumbles and sliced scallions if desired!
Notes
- To cook the chicken, either place the chicken in a pot of boiling water and boil for 20 minutes. Or place in a glass baking dish and bake in the oven at 375° F covered for 30 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.
- You can also cook the chicken in the slow cooker with step 2. Cook it for at least 2 hours on low and then remove it and shred it before continuing with step 3.
- You can also use a rotisserie chicken for quick prep.
- My favorite way to shred chicken is to pulse it in a food processor for just a few seconds. Or you can just use a knife and fork to slice it into small shredded chunks.
- Use elbow noodles or shells if desired.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
