Description

A delightful one-pot pasta dish combining shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, and cheese for a creamy, flavorful meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb cooked chicken, shredded
  • 12 oz rotini or penne pasta
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, combine the shredded chicken, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, BBQ sauce, and ranch dressing. Add the uncooked pasta, bringing the mixture to a boil.
  3. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes until the pasta is cooked to your liking.
  4. Stir in the cheddar cheese and diced red onion. Continue stirring until the cheese melts and creates a creamy sauce.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

Use a rotisserie chicken to save time on shredding. Adjust BBQ sauce and ranch dressing according to taste preferences.
