Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Pasta: Easy, Creamy, and Spicy Comfort Food


  • Author: Hannah

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 cup buffalo wing sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)

  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (or homemade ranch seasoning)

  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 2 cups cooked pasta (like penne, rotini, or ziti)

  • ½ cup heavy cream or milk

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken:

    • Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.

    • Pour the buffalo wing sauce and ranch seasoning mix over the chicken.

  • Cook the Chicken:

    • Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and easily shreds with a fork.

  • Shred the Chicken:

    • Once the chicken is done, use two forks to shred it directly in the crockpot.

  • Add Cream Cheese and Cheeses:

    • Add the cream cheese to the crockpot, stirring to combine until it melts and the mixture becomes creamy.

    • Stir in the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, letting them melt into the sauce.

  • Combine with Pasta:

    • Stir in the cooked pasta and heavy cream (or milk) to create a creamy, cheesy sauce.

    • Season with salt and pepper to taste, then mix everything together.

 

  • Serve:

    • Serve the Buffalo Chicken Pasta hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
