CHEESY BUFFALO CHICKEN PASTA

If you’ve never had a buffalo chicken casserole you are seriously missing out. Our family loves this spicy dish and we can’t get enough of it. It’s a quick and easy pasta dish that’s perfect to double and save leftovers. 

I am going to share with you this simple buffalo chicken recipe with all of my favorite tips and tricks. If you don’t want to take the time to read this post, just click the Jump To Recipe button above. It will take you to the full printable recipe card with easy instructions and nutritional information.

WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED FOR BUFFALO CHICKEN PASTA?

You don’t need too many ingredients on hand for this delicious recipe. Here is what you will need to have on hand:

  • Shredded chicken (Rotisserie works great!)
  • Shredded cheese (cheddar and mozzarella mix)
  • Block of cream cheese
  • Wing sauce or hot sauce
  • Ranch dressing
  • Cooked pasta (penne pasta and farfalle pasta are my favorites here)
  • Green onions

This is definitely a spicy dish, so make sure you tone it down with the hot sauce if you don’t like things too spicy. I make this dish with the same ingredients I use to make my slow cooker buffalo chicken dip. 

HOW DO I MAKE BUFFALO CHICKEN PASTA?

This is a super quick and easy dinner, and you can make it a couple of different ways. I love to make this recipe with Rotisserie chicken, but you can also use shredded chicken breasts. I like to batch cook chicken on the weekends so I can quickly use it during the week. You can also click here to find some of my favorite easy shredded chicken recipes. 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  2. Add cooked chicken, pasta, ranch, wing sauce, and cream cheese to a large bowl. Stir well.
  3. Add chicken mixture to a casserole baking dish and bake for 25 minutes. 
  4. Top with cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese blend and green onion tops.
  5. Bake an additional 5 minutes until cheese is melted. 

Serve this chicken pasta with a salad to even out all of those rich carbs.
