Ingredients

8 ounces uncooked penne pasta
4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
¾ cup low sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon minced garlic
⅓ cup + 1 tablespoons Buffalo sauce divided
½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
½ cup mild cheddar cheese shredded
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups rotisserie chicken shredded
2 tablespoons green onions chopped

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add about a tablespoon of oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water.
Carefully add the pasta to the boiling water, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Follow the cooking time on the package directions.
Once the pasta is cooked, use a colander or strainer and drain the pasta to remove all the water. Set the drained pasta aside.
Heat a large skillet over low heat and combine the cream cheese and chicken broth.
Allow the cream cheese to melt in the heat and whisk until everything comes together, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and ⅓ cup of Buffalo sauce, and let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes.
Gradually add the mozzarella and cheddar cheese, along with salt and pepper, and mix until the cheese is melted, and the sauce is creamy.
Add the cooked pasta and shredded chicken to the skillet, tossing them with the creamy sauce until everything is well coated.
Garnish with chopped green onions for added freshness and drizzle the remaining tablespoon of Buffalo sauce over the pasta and serve.
