Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 12 oz fettuccine or penne pasta
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté your aromatics. In a large pot or deep skillet, over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, toss in your cooked chicken and sauté for about 2-3 minutes just to warm it.
- Add the broth. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Add the pasta. Stir in the fettuccine or penne, ensuring it’s submerged in the broth. Bring it back to a simmer and cook according to package instructions (about 8-10 minutes).
- Stir in cream and Buffalo sauce. Reduce the heat slightly and add in the heavy cream and Buffalo sauce, mixing until well combined.
- Add cheeses. Stir in the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella until melted and fully combined, then mix in the cream cheese for extra creaminess.
- Season to taste. Add salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve immediately. Dish out the pasta in deep bowls and enjoy!
