Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground chicken
- 3 green onions thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ounce packet powdered Ranch seasoning mix
- 2-1/2 cups chicken stock
- 1/2 cup cayenne pepper sauce Frank's RedHot
- 8 ounces elbow pasta uncooked
- 1 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
- 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
Instructions
- Place a 12-inch high sided skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add ground chicken, white part of the green onion, garlic and Ranch seasoning mix. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the chicken no longer looks pink.
- Pour in the chicken stock and cayenne pepper sauce. Stir to combine.
- Add in the elbow pasta, stir to combine and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the past is fully cooked. Stir a few times while cooking to make sure all the pasta is cooking evenly.
- If the pasta isn't cooked but the liquid has cooked down you can add a little more stock. I found 2-1/2 cups chicken stock was the perfect amount. It was enough to fully cook the pasta while letting the liquid cook down.
- When the pasta is cooked turn off the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt, crumbled blue cheese and green part of the green onion.
- Serve warm and add more pepper sauce if desired.
