A comforting one-pot meal combining spicy buffalo sauce and creamy goodness, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (like penne or rotini)
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (like cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and sauté until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, until it turns golden and delicious.
  2. Add the flavorful sauce: Stir in the buffalo sauce, chicken broth, and pasta. Give everything a good mix and let those flavors meld together.
  3. Boil and simmer: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover and let simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is perfectly cooked and has absorbed the savory broth.
  4. Make it creamy: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese. Mix until everything is melted and beautifully creamy.
  5. Season to taste: Sprinkle with salt and pepper according to your preference, giving it that final touch to elevate the flavors.
  6. Garnish and serve: Top with chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy every bite!

Notes

For extra creaminess, feel free to add more cream or cheese. Adjust buffalo sauce for spice levels according to your preference. This recipe can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
