This One Pot Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese is a spicy, cheesy, and comforting dish perfect for weeknight dinners. Tender bite-sized chicken pieces are seasoned and seared, then combined with pasta cooked directly in garlic-infused broth. Heavy cream and buffalo sauce bring the heat and richness, while a blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan delivers the ultimate creamy texture. Finished with more cheese and a dash of milk for creaminess, this one-pot wonder is bold, flavorful, and ultra-satisfying.

One Pot Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese

Instructions

1
|
Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
2
|
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
3
|
In the same pan, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
4
|
Add uncooked pasta and stir to coat in garlic butter.
5
|
Pour in broth and stir. Cook until pasta is al dente and most liquid is absorbed.
6
|
Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Season again with the same spices used on the chicken.
7
|
Stir in buffalo sauce, cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan until melted and creamy.
8
|
Return cooked chicken to the pan and mix well. If sauce is too thick, add a dash of milk until desired consistency is reached.
9
|
Top with extra Parmesan and serve hot.
