Ingredients

1 block cream cheese (softened)

1 cup ranch dressing

2/3 cup buffalo wing sauce

2 cups rotisserie chicken

16 oz. pasta noodles (rigatoni, penne, macaroni, etc.)

1 ½ cups mozzarella, shredded

1 cup cheddar, shredded

1 tsp paprika

Optional (blue cheese crumbles, green onions for serving)

Butter or non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large pot, get water boiling for your noodles while you prepare the sauce. Cook the noodles to al dente.

Make sure your cream cheese is nice and soft*. Place it in a large mixing bowl. Add the ranch dressing and hot sauce. Mix well until it's combined and the cream cheese is smooth (try to mash any large clumps).

Add in the shredded chicken, 1/2 the cheeses, and drained noodles. Fold the ingredients using a spatula until evenly combined. Transfer to a greased 9x13 casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese, covering the top. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
