Notes

Pasta, Rice Or Potatoes

Now, in this recipe below the instructions are for using rice. But, here I will explain how to use pasta and potatoes in the buffalo chicken casserole.
Pasta Instructions: Using 3 cups of rotini pasta, boil the pasta as normal to the point where the pasta is soft with a bite. Make the cream sauce as normal but cut the chicken broth down to 1 cup.
Potato Instructions: In a 8x8 baking dish about three potatoes should be enough for filling with the shredded chicken. When in doubt you can always add more. Now, boil the potatoes until tender. When it comes to the cheese sauce cut the chicken broth down to 1/2 cup.
