Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in Buffalo sauce and cream cheese until smooth and combined.
Add shredded chicken and dressing to the sauce, mixing well. Let it warm through for 2–3 minutes.
Stir in the cooked pasta, then add shredded cheddar cheese and mix until melted and creamy.
Spoon into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions. Add extra cheese or Buffalo sauce if desired.

Notes

Adjust spice level by using mild or hot Buffalo sauce, or increase cream cheese for a gentler flavor.
Leftovers store well and taste even better the next day—just add a splash of milk when reheating.
Top with breadcrumbs and broil briefly for a crispy, baked finish.
Mix in veggies like spinach, bell peppers, or carrots for extra nutrition and texture.
