Ingredients
Pasta and Chicken
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 1 lb cooked and shredded chicken breast
Sauce Ingredients
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
Cooking the Pasta
- Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions, typically about 8-10 minutes. Once al dente, drain and set aside.
Preparing the Chicken
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the shredded chicken and toss it with the buffalo sauce, stirring every couple of minutes until the chicken is well coated and heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
Making the Sauce
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, letting it bubble at the edges. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until the sauce is silky and smooth.
Combining Pasta and Sauce
- Add the cooked fettuccine to the buffalo chicken sauce, tossing gently to ensure every strand of pasta is coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting based on your preference.
Serving
- Transfer your beautiful dish to a serving plate, garnish with chopped green onions, and enjoy while hot.
Notes
Serve in shallow bowls for a restaurant-worthy look. Pair with a crisp garden salad and garlic bread. Optionally, sprinkle crumbled blue cheese on top for added flavor.
