Buffalo Chicken Pasta
Buffalo Chicken Pasta
Ingredients
8 ounces penne pasta cooked al dente
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 Tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
½ cup sliced onions
½ cup canned diced tomatoes slightly drained,
see notes below
2 ounces cream cheese
2 cups heavy whipping cream
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup hot sauce such as Frank's red hot
Before You Begin
We didn’t drain the tomatoes completely, but did drain off
excess.
Penne, mostaccioli, ziti, or rigatoni all work well in this
recipe.
You will need 2 cups of cooked chicken breasts. Cook up
about 2 chicken breasts or cube a precooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery
store. Chicken thigh meat will also work!
Feel free to use your favorite brand of hot sauce here, we
like to use Franks Red Hot.
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until
shimmering. Add minced garlic and stir, cooking for 1 minute. Add in onion and
cook/stir another 2-3 minutes or until tender.
Add diced tomatoes and stir together. Add in cream cheese
and use the back of the spatula to smash it so you can stir everything
together.
Pour in heavy cream, both cheeses, and hot sauce. Stir to
combine.
Add in cooked chicken and cooked pasta. Stir everything
together and cook a few more minutes or until heated through.
