Category: Salads

8 oz rotini pasta
1 1/2 cups shredded chicken
1/3 cup chopped red pepper
1/3 cup chopped celery (optional)
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
1/2 cup ranch dressing
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 Tbsp chopped scallions


1. Cook pasta according to package instructions.
2. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
3. Add chicken breast and red pepper and stir to combine.
4. In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and black pepper to make a sauce.
5. Pour sauce over pasta mixture and stir until well combined.
6. Stir in mozzarella cheese (it is best to add this while the pasta is still warm so that the cheese mostly melts).
7. Top with chives and serve (Warm or Chilled).
