Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 (16 oz) box dry penne pasta
  • 1 jar (about 15 oz) Alfredo sauce
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp dry ranch seasoning

Instructions

  1. Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving a splash of pasta water.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until no longer pink in the center. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, stir in the Alfredo sauce and buffalo wing sauce, and heat until warmed through.
  5. Mix in the cooked penne until coated with the sauce. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.
  6. Add the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan or ranch seasoning if desired.

Notes

Adjust buffalo wing sauce to your heat preference. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. Freezing is possible for up to 2 months.
