Buffalo Chicken Pasta

Serving size: 2-3

Ingredients: 1 large chicken breast, grilled or pan-seared & sliced, 2 cups cooked penne pasta (or any pasta of choice) 1 tbsp olive oil or butter, 1–2 cloves garlic, minced, 1/4 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to heat preference) 1/3 cup cream cheese (or Greek yogurt for lighter version) 1/4 cup chicken broth or milk (for thinning sauce) 2 tbsp parmesan cheese (optional) Salt, pepper to taste. Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions: Cook Pasta: Boil pasta according to package. Reserve a bit of pasta water in case sauce needs thinning. Sear Chicken: Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika (optional). Sear in olive oil until golden brown and cooked through. Slice once rested. Make Creamy Buffalo Sauce: In a skillet, sauté garlic in olive oil/butter until fragrant. Add cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and broth/milk. Stir until creamy. Optional: Stir in parmesan for richness. Combine: Toss cooked pasta into the sauce until fully coated. Add chicken slices on top and drizzle extra buffalo sauce if desired. Garnish with green onions for a fresh bite!
