- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream 357 g

Instructions
Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente about (8-10 minutes). Drain the pasta and set aside.
Chicken
- In a small bowl, combine onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Season each side of the chicken evenly with the spice mixture.
- To a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the oil. Once hot, add the chicken. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip and cook an additional 4-5 minutes on the opposite side, or until the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from the skillet and set on a plate. Tent to keep warm.
Sauce
- To the same skillet over medium heat, add butter. Once melted, add the onions. Cook for 5-8 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the heavy cream, buffalo sauce, parmesan cheese, mozzarella, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Continue cooking until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add reserved pasta. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Slice the chicken into strips and place on top of the pasta.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and parmesan. Serve.
