Preparation Instructions

1

Sear the chicken

5-7 minutes

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

2

Build the spicy cream sauce

Low heat

In the same skillet, lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream and Buffalo wing sauce. Whisk together until simmering. Gradually stir in the shredded cheese until completely melted and smooth.

Combine ingredients

Toss to coat

Add the cooked penne, steamed broccoli florets, and the seared chicken back into the skillet. Toss vigorously until every piece of pasta is thoroughly coated in the Buffalo cheese sauce.

Note: If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water (1–2 tablespoons at a time) to loosen it while maintaining the creamy texture.
