The summer heat is here in Florida so I am on a quest for lighter dishes I can serve for dinner. We are also trying to eat a bit healthier so that means we can’t go out for wings once a week, now it is once a month…baby steps, I can’t give them up forever. Yes, I already have several Buffalo Chicken recipes on the site including my Buffalo Chicken Casserole, Buffalo Chicken Dip, and Baked Buffalo Chicken Nuggets, so why add more? Because I can 😛 No really though, who doesn’t need Buffalo Chicken Mac n Cheese in their life? I’m so glad I do!
This Buffalo Chicken Mac n Cheese recipe is a light yet flavorful twist on two old favorites.

This recipe requires 1 pound of cooked, shredded chicken. I usually have this ready and in zippy bags in my freezer. If you need to learn how to do this, here is my How to Make Shredded Chicken in a Crockpot post.
