# Step-by-Step Instructions:

Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked chicken and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and buffalo sauce into the skillet. Stir thoroughly to create a uniform mixture. Add uncooked pasta and bring to a gentle boil.
03 -
Reduce heat to low and let the pasta simmer uncovered. Stir occasionally for 10 to 12 minutes until pasta reaches al dente and the sauce thickens gradually.

Once pasta is cooked, stir in Parmesan, mozzarella, and cream cheese. Continue stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

Use high-quality chicken broth for deeper flavor. Stir frequently during simmering for even cooking and avoid sticking. Let the dish rest a few minutes before serving to thicken the sauce.
