Buffalo Chicken and Butternut Squash Casserole
4 cups butternut squash cubes (you can buy pre-cut butternut squash in the produce section)
Olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
½ cup buffalo hot sauce (such as Frank’s Red Hot)
½ cup ranch dressing
About 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken from a purchased rotisserie chicken, skin and bones removed
½ cup minced celery
3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup crumbled blue cheese
3 green onions, chopped
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Toss the squash cubes with a tablespoon or so of olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, stir together the buffalo hot sauce and the ranch dressing. Spray a 9-inch-by-13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray. Put the chicken, celery, and 1 ½ cups of the cheddar cheese in the baking dish, and pour the hot sauce-ranch mixture over. Toss to coat everything with the sauce. Top with the remaining 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the blue cheese over the top, and then the green onions. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top is bubbly. Let the casserole sit for 10 minutes before serving.
