Instructions
 

  • To make buffalo chicken pasta, start by cooking your preferred pasta according to the package instructions. During the pasta is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add some oil. Season boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook them in the skillet until they are no longer pink in the center.Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  • In the same skillet, melt some butter and add hot sauce, adjusting the amount to your desired level of spiciness. Stir the mixture until well blended and hot. Afterward, add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss it in the buffalo sauce until it is evenly coated.
  • Next, add the sliced chicken to the skillet and toss it with the pasta. Additionally, if desired, you can incorporate extra ingredients, such as diced celery or crumbled blue cheese, to enhance the flavor and texture of the dish. Once everything is well-mixed, subsequently remove the skillet from the heat and serve the buffalo chicken pasta hot.
  • The result is a dish that is both pleasant and satisfying. Furthermore, the heat from the hot sauce is perfectly balanced by the creaminess of the sauce, creating a mouthwatering combination. Additionally, the tender chicken and al dente pasta add texture to each bite, making it a truly enjoyable experience.
