buffalo chicken casserole

I love buffalo sauce. like, really love it. so when I had a bunch of leftover roasted chicken I decided to make some sort of cheesy chicken casserole with buffalo as the sauce.

are you drooling? I was. just a little.

2 cups cooked chicken
1 cup pasta, cooked and drained
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp frank's red hot [seriously, don't try this with any other hot sauce. frank's is the only way to go]
1 cup cubed mozzarella
1 cup cooked broccoli [optional]
parmesan cheese for the top
salt and pepper
ranch dressing

1. preheat oven to 350.
2. melt butter over low heat.
3. stir in frank's red hot until it is combined.
4. add a pinch of salt.
5. mix all ingredients together.
6. season well with salt and pepper.
7. pour into baking dish.
8. top with parmesan.
9. bake for 20 - 25 minutes.
10. drizzle portions with ranch dressing.

cook's note: I cannot emphasize enough how DELICIOUSLY TASTY this was. and the leftovers? they totally rock. the broccoli is only optional because the boyfriend stated he would prefer it without the "green stuff". but I have a hard time calling anything dinner without something green on the plate [thanks mom!]
