Ingredients

cooking spray

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni

1 (16 ounce) container sour cream

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's®)

1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix

1 rotisserie chicken, meat removed and chopped

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

1 cup panko bread crumbs

¼ cup melted butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain.

Stir sour cream and cream cheese together in a bowl until smooth; add evaporated milk. Stir Buffalo wing sauce and ranch dressing into sour cream mixture; mix in shredded chicken, macaroni, and 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese. Pour macaroni mixture into prepared baking dish. Top with bread crumbs and remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese; drizzle melted butter over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and golden, 20 to 30 minutes.

Recipe Tip

You can substitute two to three boiled, shredded chicken breast halves for the rotisserie chicken.
