Step # 1: Boil the Pasta

Maybe you already know but still, I’ll tell you to add a pinch of salt and a few drops of olive oil. Drain it with cold water after boiling to avoid clumping. Save the salty water in which you boiled the pasta. We’ll use this water to prepare the sauce.

Step # 2: Cooking of chicken:

Set the heat for cooking chicken from slow to medium flame at the start. Add oil to pan (olive oil). You’ll season chicken with all the spices mentioned above in the ingredients (paprika powder, salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder). Cook chicken till the brown colour appears.

Step # 3: Sauce preparation:

You can prepare a simple, tasty sauce by simply mixing ranch dressing and buffalo sauce.

Alternate method:

Melt butter in a pot or pan at medium flame. Add some paprika and garlic powder, and cook for two minutes. Put flour in it and cook for almost 5 minutes. Keep stirring otherwise, it may burn. Add the water used to boil the pasta that we saved in the 1st step. Again cook till you get the good consistency you need, and add cheese and buffalo sauce too.

Step # 4: Combining all the items:

Take all three items that are chicken, pasta and sauce and pour them into a bowl. Mix them thoroughly, it is better to toss them so that pasta does not damage.

Step # 5: Serving:

Heat the buffalo chicken with no cream cheese for two to three minutes at a low flame after combining all the stuff. This step makes the dish more flavorful. Sprinkle the pasta with some cheese and paprika and serve it and enjoy.

Note:

The spiciness level of pasta is adjustable. You can adjust it according to your taste by increasing or lowering the amount of buffalo sauce.
