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!)

- Block of cream cheese

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.

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.
