@fiveingredientfeast: This is a huge moment for me: My first-ever recipe on here that’s more than five ingredients, and it’s a staple that I’ve been making my family for years!
My Buffalo chicken mac and cheese is the ultimate comfort food. It is perfect for a cozy night in, and I’m drooling just thinking about how much I love it. I’m so excited to share this one with you!
Ingredients:
4 servings of rigatoni or any large-shape pasta
2 tablespoons of butter
1 tablespoon of flour
2/3 cup of whole milk
A little salt and pepper
1/3 cup of softened cream cheese
1/3 cup of Buffalo sauce
1/3 cup of ranch or blue cheese dressing
1, 8-ounce bag of shredded sharp cheddar, divided
1, 8-ounce bag of shredded Monterey Jack, divided
About 6 frozen chicken tenders, defrosted and chopped (make sure to defrost them at least 30 minutes, or they’ll be very difficult to chop!)
Directions:
Cook the pasta according to package instructions.
In the meantime, melt the butter in a Dutch oven or large pan on low, then whisk in the flour. Once the mixture is formed, whisk in the milk, and season with a little salt and pepper. Let the sauce heat on low for 5 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the sauce heats, add the cream cheese, Buffalo sauce, and ranch or blue cheese dressing to a small bowl, and whisk until combined. Set aside.
When the milk is heated, add 3/4 cup of cheddar into the cheese sauce, and whisk to combine. Then, add 3/4 cup of Monterey Jack into the cheese sauce, and whisk to combine.
Once the cheese sauce is fully combined, whisk in the cream cheese mixture to combine that in as well.
Drain the pasta, and add it to the cheese sauce. Stir in the chopped chicken, then add 1/3 cup each of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Fold in the cheese, David! (Schitt’s Creek reference)
Transfer the macaroni and cheese to an oven-safe dish. Top it with another 1/2 cup of cheddar and 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack, then bake for 20-25 minutes.

Do you cook the tenders first or just thaw them?
