INGREDIENTS

  • Pasta

    • 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni

  • Meat

    • 1 rotisserie-roasted chicken

  • Dairy

    • 🧈 6 tablespoons butter
    • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
    • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
    • ½ cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese

  • Additional

    • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 🥛 3 cups milk
    • 1 pinch ground black pepper
    • ½ cup hot sauce (such as Frank's® Redhot®), or more to taste

STEPS

1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.

2

Cut wings and legs off rotisserie chicken. Remove skin and bones from wings and legs; chop or shred dark meat into bite-sized pieces.

3

Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Gradually whisk in flour until a thick paste forms. Cook until golden, about 1 minute.

4

Pour in milk, whisking constantly, until thickened and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Continue to cook and stir until sauce is smooth, about 1 minute more. Reduce heat and season with pepper.

5

Stir Cheddar and Monterey Jack into the sauce until melted and combined.

6

Stir in hot sauce to the desired level of spiciness.

7

Add Gorgonzola, chicken, and macaroni; mix well to combine.

8

Serve hot and enjoy!
