Recipe by Matt R from allrecipes.com

Dinner 45 Mins.

Ingredients

8

8 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
  • 1 rotisserie-roasted chicken
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 0.5 cup hot sauce (such as Frank's® Redhot®), or more to taste
  • 0.5 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese

Instructions

  • 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.
  • Cut wings and legs off rotisserie chicken. Remove skin and bones from wings and legs; chop or shred dark meat into bite-sized pieces.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Stir Cheddar and Monterey Jack into the sauce until melted and combined.
  • Stir in hot sauce to the desired level of spiciness.
  • Add Gorgonzola, chicken, and macaroni; mix well to combine.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
