Equipment

  • Large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon Italian herb seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic for added depth
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock for added flavor
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 12-ounce bottle of Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic Sauce
  • 1/2 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Zest of 1 lemon for a bright, tangy note
  • 16 ounces cooked pasta drained (farfalle recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional, for a spicy kick

Instructions
 

  • Start by cutting your chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. This allows for even cooking. Season the chicken with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  • In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes or until they're golden brown and cooked through. Stir often to avoid burning.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic and Italian herb seasoning. Stir continuously to prevent the garlic from burning. After about one minute, you’ll smell the delightful fragrance wafting through the air.
  • Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken stock. This step is key to adding moisture and flavor. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any delicious bits off the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low. Slowly stir in the softened cream cheese until it melts into the chicken and combines with the other ingredients, creating a rich, creamy sauce.
  • Now, add the entire bottle of Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic Sauce. Mix thoroughly to ensure every piece of chicken is coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on low heat, allowing everything to meld together.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat it in the sauce. Let it sit for a minute or two, allowing the pasta to warm up.
  • Sprinkle the freshly shredded Parmesan cheese on top, along with the lemon zest. Stir again to combine. Finish with freshly chopped parsley and, if desired, the crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.

Notes

  • Use Leftover Chicken: If you have cooked chicken at hand, this dish can be assembled even faster.
  • Pasta Options: While farfalle is great, other pasta types like penne or elbow macaroni work well.
  • Mind the Heat: Keep the heat low when adding cream cheese to avoid curdling.
  • Storage Savvy: Make extra and store leftovers in an airtight container for easy lunches.
  • Make it Zesty: Experiment with added ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes or olives for more depth.
