Buffalo Chicken Pasta Bake
This comforting buffalo chicken pasta bake is just like a cheesy casserole! Spicy and made with tender chicken, this baked pasta is great for whenever you are craving creamy and easy flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 cups penne pasta dry (regular white pasta)
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cooked & shredded
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt I like whole milk yogurt
- ½ cup hot sauce like Franks
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup shredded mexican blend cheese divided
- 2 cans of mushrooms 6.5oz cans; ~1 cup total
- 3 tablespoons Panko bread crumbs
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions.
- In a small-medium sized bowl combine yogurt, hot sauce, onion powder, garlic powder and salt.
- Combine cooked pasta, chicken, ½ cup of the shredded cheese, mushrooms and the yogurt sauce. Mix it up well.
- Place pasta mixture into a ~8x8 casserole dish that has been sprayed with non-stick spray, pressing down lightly.
- Top with remaining ½ cup cheese and the bread crumbs.
- Top with aluminum foil or place casserole dish top on.
- When ready to bake preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake for 20 minutes with the foil on and 5 minutes with the foil off.
- I like to then set the broiler to high and broil for 2-3 minutes just to get the top a bit more golden! Watch it closely so it doesn’t broil too long- parts of the cheese should just begin to start to golden.
- Remove from the oven and enjoy!
