Instructions
Step 1
1. Set the cheddar, mozzarella, and cream cheese out ahead of time. We want them near room temperature when we add them to the pasta.
Gently Boil/Shred the Chicken:
Step 2
1. Place the chicken in a pot of water and bring to a gentle boil. Cook for 15 minutes, until cooked through. Remove and use two forks to shred. Toss with blue cheese dressing and set aside.
Step 3
Pro Tip: Add 1-2 chicken Bouillon cubes to the water to add more flavor to the chicken.
Prepare the Pasta
Step 4
Melt butter in a large high-walled skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery. Cook for five minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
Step 5
Add the undrained diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and add the pasta. Submerge the pasta into the liquid and let it come back to a boil.
Step 6
Cover and let it boil for 10-13 minutes. Lift the lid and run a silicone spatula underneath the pasta a few times throughout cooking to ensure the pasta doesn't stick. Test a pasta noodle for doneness before proceeding.
Step 7
Add the shredded chicken and red pepper flakes.
Step 8
Optional: Once sauce is near your desired consistency, swirl in 2 tablespoons COLD butter. This is called "Monter au Beurre" and will create a smooth finish.
