I found a blog that has a ton of recipes and other tips from a girl who lost 135 lbs called Can You Stay for Dinner?. On it, there was a Buffalo Chicken Macaroni and Blue Cheese recipe. I didn't add the blue cheese, but the recipe was still super tasty! And it's definitely healthier than some of the options out there. Best part? It was super easy and quick to make. I'm definitely making it again in the future.
Here's the recipe. :)
Buffalo Chicken Macaroni and Blue Cheese
1 c 1% milk
1 Tbs cornstarch
1 Tbs butter
3/4 c extra sharp cheddar cheese (I used mild, and it was also excellent)
1/2 c crumbled blue cheese
4 c cooked elbow shaped pasta
1 lb cooked chicken breast, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1/2-2/3 c hot buffalo wing sauce (recommended: Frank's Red Hot)
Instructions
Stir in the milk and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir in the butter. When sauce is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, add the cheddar cheese and stir until the cheese has melted and the mixture is silky and well blended.
Place your cooked, drained pasta in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over it and stir it to combine.
In a separate bowl, toss the cooked chicken with the hot sauce, evenly coating and moistening the meat evenly. Use more or less hot sauce depending on your spice preference.
Gently stir the chicken into the pasta, followed by the crumbled blue cheese. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
