Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 8 oz Elbow macaroni
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Buffalo wing sauce
- 0.25 cup Ranch dressing
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease 4 individual ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.
Cook the elbow macaroni in a pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a medium frying pan, cook the chicken breast over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes per side. Once cooled, dice or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to create a roux and cook for 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps, and cook until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the cream cheese until fully melted and smooth, then add the buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy buffalo sauce.
Combine the cooked macaroni, shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese in a large mixing bowl. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the greased ramekins and top each with a sprinkle of panko breadcrumbs.
Drizzle olive oil over the breadcrumbs to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake the ramekins in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
