Sunday Funday.

On Sundays, Mike and I choose to cook for the upcoming week (which usually doesn't last the week). Yesterday, we decided to make buffalo chicken pasta and mini chicken pot pies. Delicious. The pasta has the perfect amount of hot-ness to it and the pot pies are just plain adorable.

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup chunky blue cheese dressing
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound frozen cooked chicken strips, defrosted and diced
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup red onion, diced 
  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the rotini, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  2. Stir together the mayonnaise, blue cheese dressing, buffalo wing sauce, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken, bell peppers, red onion, and cooked pasta and toss to coat with the dressing. Cover and chill at least 1 hour in the refrigerator before serving.
