Buffalo Chicken Mac n' Cheese



















Yes.  It's delicious.

Ingredients:
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
1 1/2 sticks of butter
2 tablespoons garlic
2 small yellow onions
4 stalks celery, diced
1 3/4 cups buffalo sauce
2 tbs flour
1 tablespoon mustard
2 cups milk
4 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups pepper jack cheese, shredded
2/3 cup sour cream
1 lb pasta
1 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tbs parsley, chopped
4 oz bleu cheese

 Preheat the oven to 350°



















Chop up the onion and celery.



















Saute in 3 tablespoons of butter and tablespoons of garlic for 8-10 minutes, until onions are translucent.



















Shred the chicken.



















Add the chicken and 3/4 cup of buffalo sauce to the onion/celery mixture.



















In a separate pan, melt the butter and whisk in the flour and mustard.



















Whisk in milk, 1 cup of buffalo sauce, cheddar and pepper jack cheese.



















Par-boil the pasta (4-5 minutes).  It will cook more in the oven.
Combine pasta with cheese sauce and chicken mixture. 
Then, dump it in a 9x13 pyrex.



















For the topping, mix together the panko, 4 tablespoons of melted butter, parsley and bleu cheese.



















Add the topping and bake for 25-35 minutes!

Enjoy!

1/4 cup bleu cheese
1 1/2 cups mayo
1 tbs cream
