Ingredients

Scale

3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
12 oz fettuccine or penne pasta
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper, cooking until golden brown (about 6 minutes per side). Remove and let rest.
In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for about one minute until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream, stirring in Parmesan cheese until melted. Gradually add buffalo sauce to reach your desired spice level.
Slice the rested chicken and return it to the skillet along with the drained pasta. Toss until everything is well coated in the sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan or chopped green onions if desired.
