How to Make Creamy Buffalo Chicken Alfredo
- Prepare the Chicken
- Heat the butter in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook until the chicken is golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.
- Sauté the Garlic
- In the same pot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Build the Sauce
- Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, and buffalo sauce to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Cook the Pasta
- Add the fettuccine pasta directly into the pot, ensuring it is submerged in the liquid.
- Cook according to the package instructions, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- If the liquid reduces too much, add a bit more chicken broth.
- Combine and Melt the Cheese
- Once the pasta is cooked, lower the heat and stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pot and toss to combine.
- Adjust Seasoning
- Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or buffalo sauce if desired.
- Serve and Garnish
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and crumbled blue cheese if using.
