Buffalo Chicken Mac n Cheese

In case you were not aware I <3 Cilantro.
Cilantro + Hollis = Tru LV 4EVR!
Like, Yeah!
Do you think cilantro feels the same way?

Remember when peace signs and ying-yang signs were da bomb? Or when scribbling the name of your current "lover" on your notebook was the thing to do. Umm, how many notebooks did I go through in 7th grade?! That's not the point here. Moving on.
That has absolutely nothing to do with this recipe, except that I just displayed my mathematical love equation up there, and for the fact that this dish is loaded with cilantro. Cilantro just makes things better. Really. It's true! I cannot lie. Next time you are watching a sappy movie and just can't compose yourself and stop crying, run to the refrigerator and pull out some cilantro. Chop and eat. Or rub it into your 5 year old's knee and elbow scrape next time he falls off his bike. It's sure to do the trick.
Uhh... yeah. Not so much?
Well, this surely will!

Buffalo Chicken Mac n Cheese
Serves: 4

Ingredients:
12 oz Pasta Shells (or whatever you have on hand)
3 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cooked and cubed, (or leftover shredded chicken, 2 cups)
1 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Flour
1 1/2 c Milk
1 c Shredded Mexican Style Cheese
3/4 c Shredded Sharp White Cheddar Cheese
1/3 c Frank's Buffalo Wing Sauce ( gotta use Frank's!)
1/3 c Crushed BBQ Potato Chips ( or bread crumbs)
Salt and Pepper, to taste
1/2 Crumbled Gorgonzola or Blue Cheese
1/2 c Cilantro
Buffalo Sauce for drizzle

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cook pasta according to directions.
While pasta is cooking, heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter, allow to melt then add the flour. Whisk together to create a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes until mixture becomes golden in color. Add milk, stir and turn down heat to low. Continue stirring until milk thickens. Add in grated cheeses and continue to stir until mixture is smooth. Stir in buffalo wing sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Grease a baking dish. Add pasta and chicken, then pour cheese sauce over and mix thoroughly until everything is coated. Sprinkle with chip crumbs. Bake for 25 minutes or until cheese is golden brown. Remove from oven and top with gorgonzola and cilantro. Drizzle with buffalo wing sauce.
