Creamy Bacon Buffalo Chicken Pasta image

Totally made up this recipe because I had chicken breasts, bacon and Atkins penne pasta. I love spicy food and I have tried other buffalo chicken pasta recipes, but this one is the best (if I do say so myself). You can use regular pasta and different cheeses if you wish. You may be able to find some shortcuts since this is a long recipe, but I promise you will be happy if you follow it exactly :)

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

36 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts or 3 large chicken breasts
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 teaspoons Frank's red hot sauce
4 tablespoons wing time buffalo wing sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
7 slices bacon
8 ounces penne pasta (or any pasta)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup skim milk
2 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese
2 ounces shredded colby-monterey jack cheese
3 ounces Velveeta cheese

Steps:

  • Cut up chicken into pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook in olive oil in large skillet until brown. I had to cook in two batches.
  • Put chicken into large bowl and add hot sauce, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper. Stir until well coated.
  • Cook bacon in microwave for 6 minutes. I use a plate, cover with paper towel, lay bacon on paper towel, then cover with another paper towel. Once cool, crumble into pieces.
  • In a large pot, boil water, add pasta and cook according to directions. Drain in a collander and set aside.
  • In same pot, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook until light brown.
  • Slowly add milk, stirring with a wisk.
  • Add cheeses one at a time until melted.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add pasta and stir until coated.
  • Add chicken and stir until coated.
  • Add bacon and stir until mixed well.
  • Enjoy!

I found this recipe to be a bit too time-consuming for a weeknight meal.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pasta turned out dry and bland.

I added some chopped broccoli to the pasta for an extra boost of vegetables.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, and it worked perfectly in this dish.

I used a different type of pasta than the one called for in the recipe, and it turned out great.

I'm not a fan of blue cheese, so I omitted it from the recipe. The pasta was still delicious without it.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the perfect amount of heat.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spicy food. But I'm so glad I did! The buffalo sauce is not too spicy, and it pairs perfectly with the creamy sauce. This is now one of my favorite pasta recipes.
