Step 1
Mix chicken and 2 tablespoons of buffalo sauce in a medium bowl, set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 5
In an oven safe skillet add the combined mac and cheese and chicken mixture. Top with cheddar cheese, blue cheese crumbs, and crushed up Annie's Organic Cheddar Bunny Crackers and bake, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
