Ingredients
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- ¾ - 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix not dressing
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened and cubed
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- ½ tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 ounce box elbow macaroni uncooked
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onion
Instructions
- Add buffalo sauce to your crockpot and place chicken on top. Sprinkle the chicken with the ranch seasoning. Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165°F.
- Use 2 forks to shred the chicken in the crockpot. Add whole milk, heavy cream, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, butter and garlic. Use a sturdy spoon to stir the mixture well. Set the crockpot on warm for at least 30 minutes to melt the cheeses while you boil the noodles.
- Boil the noodles according to the package directions. Drain the noodles and add them to the crockpot, stirring well.
- Garnish with sliced green onion and serve.

Notes
- Don’t overcook the pasta: I cook the pasta until it’s al dente so it doesn’t become mushy after putting it in the crock pot.
- Make it on the stovetop: Try this recipe in a large pot on the stove.
- Add more cheese to thicken the sauce: If the sauce is too thin for your liking, add a little more cheese to thicken it.
