Crock-Pot Buffalo Chicken Pasta

This recipe for Crock-Pot Buffalo Chicken Pasta was originally sent to us by one of our readers, Wanda Cochran.  We are updating our older reader recipes so we have a picture for the recipe and we can make sure the recipe works well with the instructions we have.

This recipe is a tangy, original way to make a buffalo chicken recipe.  Use a regular or hot wing sauce or even a tangy BBQ sauce if you don’t have wing sauce handy.

I had chicken tenderloins on hand instead of chicken breasts so that is what I used and found they were so easy to cut, that I may stick with them for most of my crock pot recipes.  I generally HATE having to pre-cut the raw chicken, but the tenderloins were simply a breeze to slice through.  No change in taste either.

My family enjoyed the meal, several of us ate it for seconds the next day.  Will definitely have to cook this one up again!

Ingredients Needed:

• Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts – You will need 3 BLSL chicken breasts for this recipe or about 2 pounds.
• Canned Cream Of Chicken Soup – You can use the reduced fat variety if desired.
• Buffalo Wing Sauce – Use your favorite brand of bottled Buffalo wing sauce or you can even make your own!
• Sour Cream – You can use low-fat sour cream if desired but fat-free is not recommended in this recipe.
• Ranch Salad Dressing – Use your favorite brand of bottled ranch salad dressing. You don’t want to use a packet of the ranch dressing mix because your pasta dish will be too salty.
• Mozzarella Cheese – Shredded mozzarella cheese is going to make this pasta dish so yummy and cheesy. Whenever possible I like to grate my own cheese, however, in a pinch for time a bag of store bought pre-shredded cheese works great too!
• Penne Pasta – The pasta in this dish is cooked on the stove-top and added to the chicken and sauce right before serving to avoid overcooked and mushy pasta.

Directions:

1. Add the chicken breasts, cream of chicken soup, and buffalo wing sauce to a 6 quart or larger slow cooker.
2. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours, stirring once in the middle of the cooking time if you can.
3. When the chicken is done cooking, cook the penne pasta according to the instructions on package.
4. While the pasta is cooking on the stove-top, add the ranch dressing, sour cream and mozzarella cheese into the chicken in the slow cooker and stir well.
5. Once the pasta is done, drain and add to the slow cooker and mix well and it’s ready to be served. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Feel free to use low-fat ingredients to make this recipe a little healthier. Low-fat cream of chicken soup, sour cream, ranch dressing and cheese will all work fine. Don't however use fat free as they don't cook up quite the same. To make clean up easier you may wish to either line your slow cooker with a slow cooker liner or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
