Ingredients

Scale

16 oz Rotini Pasta
3 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup Buffalo wing sauce
1/2 cup ranch dressing
2 stalks celery, finely diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely minced
1/4 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions

Boil a large pot of salted water according to the package instructions.
Cook the pasta until it reaches an al dente texture.
Drain the cooked pasta and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and Greek yogurt.
Add the shredded chicken into the sauce mixture and toss until fully coated.
Incorporate the cooled pasta, chopped celery, and red onion into the bowl.
Stir the salad gently until all components are evenly distributed and coated with dressing.

Notes

Rinse pasta thoroughly under cold water to prevent it from clumping or overcooking in the bowl. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Use rotisserie chicken to save time during preparation.
