Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Pasta
Description
Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Pasta is prepared by slow-cooking boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a spicy buffalo wing sauce mixed with chicken broth, Ranch dressing mix, garlic, and black pepper. After cooking, the chicken is shredded and reintroduced to the slow cooker with cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and a cornstarch slurry to create a thick, creamy buffalo cheese sauce. Fettuccine noodles are added uncooked and cooked in the sauce until tender, all within the crockpot. The slow and low cooking method allows the flavors to meld together, producing a rich, creamy, and mildly spicy pasta. Adding cilantro as an optional garnish adds a fresh herbal note that brightens the dish. This recipe is well-suited for hearty lunches or dinners when a hands-off cooking approach is preferred.
