Buffalo Chicken Parm Pasta
Instructions
1
Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and set pasta aside.
2
Prepare a breading station with flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in one dish, scrambled eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third.
3
Dredge chicken breasts in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Press to coat evenly.
4
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side. Set aside.
5
In a separate pan, melt butter with olive oil. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
6
Pour in buffalo sauce and heavy cream. Stir to combine, then season with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley.
7
Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then stir in cheddar cheese. Lower heat and let the sauce thicken slightly.
8
Spoon some sauce over the cooked chicken breasts. Top with shredded mozzarella and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9
Toss the cooked pasta in the remaining buffalo sauce with a dash of pasta water to loosen if needed.
10
Serve pasta on plates, top with buffalo chicken, Parmesan, blue cheese crumbles (optional), and fresh basil. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pound Chicken Evenly 🔨Use a meat mallet to pound chicken breasts to uniform ½-inch thickness, ensuring even cooking and consistent breading throughout without dry edges or undercooked centers.
- Three-Station Breading System 🍞Set up separate bowls for flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs, then double-dip the chicken in egg and breadcrumbs for an extra-crispy, golden crust that holds up to the creamy sauce.
- Temper Buffalo Sauce Carefully 🌶️Add hot buffalo sauce to cold heavy cream slowly while whisking to prevent curdling; this emulsifies the mixture and creates a silky, balanced sauce without graininess.
- Use Reserved Pasta Water Strategically 💧Save starchy pasta water before draining and add it gradually to your buffalo cream sauce to achieve the perfect consistency and help the sauce cling beautifully to every strand.
- Layer Cheese for Maximum Melting 🧀Combine mozzarella on top of chicken with Parmesan in the sauce and blue cheese as garnish—this three-cheese strategy creates complex flavor layers and ensures proper melting texture.
