I had originally intended to make this a weight watchers type of mac 'n cheese, but then as I started making it I was like really?! Mac 'n cheese isn't supposed to be healthy for you. It's yummy comfort food and I really needed that today.
I diced up 1 pound of chicken and placed in the bottom of the crock pot. I then added 1/2 cup of buffalo sauce an 4 oz of cream cheese. I let that cook on high for 2 1/2 hours. Once that was done I added a box of whole wheat pasta to it. You can do elbow pasta or whatever you prefer. I then added 2 cans of cheddar cheese, 1 cup of milk, 2 cups of shredded cheese and the other 4 oz of cream cheese and stirred well and cooked on high for another 2 hours.
All I have to say is this was heavenly. The buffalo sauce was so minimal that it wasn't even remotely spicy. It just gave some flavor to it. You could mimic my recipe and leave the buffalo sauce out. If you choose to do so then add 1 can of cheddar cheese soup, the cream cheese and 1/2 cup of milk while you cook the chicken. Then add the other can, milk and cream cheese like the recipe says above.
Enjoy!
