  • Author: Julien Moreau
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 ounces of penne pasta
– 1 pound of cooked and shredded chicken breast
– ½ cup of buffalo sauce
– 1 cup of heavy cream
– 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
– ½ cup of cream cheese
– ¼ cup of blue cheese (optional)
– 1 tablespoon of olive oil
– 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon of onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped green onions or parsley, for garnish


Instructions

Making Buffalo Chicken Pasta is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. If not using pre-cooked chicken, sauté raw chicken breast, season with salt and pepper, until fully cooked. Shred the chicken and set it aside.
3. Create the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low. Add the buffalo sauce, heavy cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until everything is well mixed and creamy.
4. Add Cheese: Gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated. Optionally, add blue cheese for additional flavor.
5. Combine: Add the shredded chicken and cooked pasta into the skillet. Toss until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
6. Taste and Adjust: Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. If you like it spicier, add more buffalo sauce.
7. Serve: Remove from heat. Transfer to a serving dish or individual bowls.
8. Garnish: Top with chopped green onions or parsley for a fresh touch.
