Ingredients

• 1 lb cubed chicken breast
• 1 cup buffalo sauce
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
• 12 oz pasta of your choice (penne, rotini, or shells work well)

Preparation Method

Place the cubed chicken breast in the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the buffalo sauce and chicken broth over the chicken, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Add the cubed cream cheese on top, distributing it evenly. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

About 30 minutes before serving, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and add it directly to the slow cooker. Stir everything together until the pasta is well coated with the creamy buffalo sauce.

Serve the pasta hot, garnished with chopped green onions or parsley for a fresh pop of color and flavor.

Tips and Conclusion

For an extra cheesy twist, stir in some shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese before serving. If you prefer a spicier dish, add a dash of cayenne pepper or drizzle more buffalo sauce on top.
