In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cook the Pasta

Prepare the Chicken

In the same pot used for the pasta, add the cream cheese and milk over low heat. Stir until melted and combined. Gradually add the cheddar cheese, stirring until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Make the Cheese Sauce

Add the cooked pasta, chopped chicken, and buffalo sauce to the cheese sauce. Stir until everything is well combined and heated through.
