Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed

2 cups elbow macaroni, cooked

1 cup Buffalo sauce

1 cup heavy cream

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Make the sauce: In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in heavy cream and Buffalo sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until it thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the cheese: Remove from heat and stir in cheddar and mozzarella cheese until fully melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine everything: Toss the cooked macaroni and chicken into the sauce, making sure everything is coated well.

Bake: Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Top with blue cheese crumbles if desired. Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C or 375°F for 15 to 20 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and green onions. Enjoy the ultimate comfort food with a kick!
