Step 1
Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and set pasta aside.
Step 2
Prepare a breading station with flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in one dish, scrambled eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third.
Step 3
Dredge chicken breasts in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Press to coat evenly.
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 6
Pour in buffalo sauce and heavy cream. Stir to combine, then season with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley.
Step 7
Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then stir in cheddar cheese. Lower heat and let the sauce thicken slightly.
Step 8
Spoon some sauce over the cooked chicken breasts. Top with shredded mozzarella and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Toss the cooked pasta in the remaining buffalo sauce with a dash of pasta water to loosen if needed.
Step 10
Serve pasta on plates, top with buffalo chicken, Parmesan, blue cheese crumbles (optional), and fresh basil. Enjoy!
