Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground chicken
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ounce packet powdered Ranch seasoning mix
  • 2-1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup cayenne pepper sauce Frank's RedHot
  • 8 ounces elbow pasta uncooked
  • 1 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese

Instructions

  • Place a 12-inch high sided skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add ground chicken, white part of the green onion, garlic and Ranch seasoning mix. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the chicken no longer looks pink.
  • Pour in the chicken stock and cayenne pepper sauce. Stir to combine.
  • Add in the elbow pasta, stir to combine and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the past is fully cooked. Stir a few times while cooking to make sure all the pasta is cooking evenly.
  • If the pasta isn't cooked but the liquid has cooked down you can add a little more stock. I found 2-1/2 cups chicken stock was the perfect amount. It was enough to fully cook the pasta while letting the liquid cook down.
  • When the pasta is cooked turn off the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt, crumbled blue cheese and green part of the green onion.
  • Serve warm and add more pepper sauce if desired.
