Ingredients
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
While the ziti is cooking, melt butter in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Add flour and whisk to combine; cook for 1 minute. Add heavy cream and whisk until no clumps remain; bring to a simmer. Be careful not to curdle the cream–adjust temperature if necessary; simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes.
Add cream cheese; break up with a wooden spoon until combined and melted. Stir in Buffalo sauce and ranch seasoning until combined.
Drain ziti and add to the skillet with shredded chicken; stir until coated. Top with Cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until Cheddar is melted and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Garnish with green onions and serve.
