One-Pot Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese

Servings: 8
Author: Geri

Ingredients

  • 12 oz uncooked macaroni or other small pasta shape, about 3 cups
  • 2 cups unsweetened plain almond milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp each garlic powder onion powder, paprika, and mustard powder
  • 1/4 cup Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sauce
  • 3 oz shredded lite mozzarella cheese I use Trader Joe's
  • 6 slices Velveeta singles
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped or shredded
  • ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot, combine pasta, almond milk, water, and seasoning. Bring to a boil and lower heat to a simmer. Cook until pasta is just done, anywhere from 5-10 minutes depending on your brand of pasta
  • You want to have a little bit of liquid left when the pasta is done, so if it gets too dry while cooking, add in a splash of water.
  • When pasta is done, add in chicken and cook for another minute until heated through. 
  • Remove from heat. Add in buffalo sauce and cheese, mixing until melted. If the sauce is too stiff for you, add in more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you get the consistency you like.
  • Top with fresh ground pepper. Taste and add in more salt if needed. Serve immediately.
