Directions:
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the uncooked pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the softened cream cheese and stir until it’s creamy and smooth. This will be the base of your sauce, so take your time to blend it well.
- Pour in the Frank's Red Hot Original Sauce, chicken broth, and ranch seasoning. Stir everything together until well combined. The sauce should have a beautiful orange hue and smell divine!
- Add the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat it with the sauce. Then, gently fold in the cooked pasta, ensuring every piece is covered in that cheesy goodness.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the pasta mixture. Stir until the cheese melts into the sauce, creating a creamy, cheesy texture that’s hard to resist.
- Taste your creation and season with salt and pepper as needed. If you like an extra kick, feel free to add more buffalo sauce. Serve hot, garnished with chopped scallions if desired.
Notes
- Use whole grain or gluten-free pasta for added nutrients.
- Replace cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Incorporate more vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or broccoli for added fiber and vitamins.
