Creamy and cheesy Buffalo-flavored chicken baked ziti!

Provided by arkitektoo

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces ziti pasta
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups heavy cream
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's® Red Hot)
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
¾ pound cooked, shredded chicken breast meat
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
3 stalks green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
  • While the ziti is cooking, melt butter in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Add flour and whisk to combine; cook for 1 minute. Add heavy cream and whisk until no clumps remain; bring to a simmer. Be careful not to curdle the cream--adjust temperature if necessary; simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Add cream cheese; break up with a wooden spoon until combined and melted. Stir in Buffalo sauce and ranch seasoning until combined.
  • Drain ziti and add to the skillet with shredded chicken; stir until coated. Top with Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until Cheddar is melted and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Garnish with green onions and serve.
