Notes
Pro Tips:
- Use slightly less than a pound of pasta if you like extra sauce. It will take a little longer to thicken up but this is preferable if you plan on having leftovers, as the pasta will absorb more sauce in the fridge.
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened when you add it to the pasta to ensure it melts well.
- Boil the chicken gently to ensure it doesn't become tough.
- 2.5 cups cooked chicken may also be used.
- Shred the cheese from a block for extra creamy results. Bagged shredded cheese doesn't melt (or taste) as good.
- Add the cheese to the sauce over low heat. If the heat is too high, the dairy will separate and the consistency will become grainy.
- Ranch can be used instead of blue cheese if preferred.
- This recipe can be made with 2.5 cups of chicken broth and 1.5 cups of water, but I prefer to use 4 cups of chicken broth.
