Directions

  1. Set the slow cooker to high. In a small bowl, mix together onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and top with the seasoning mix and chopped onion.
  3. Pour over the can of diced tomatoes (with juice), then add buffalo sauce and cream cheese. Add the sour cream last.
  4. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours until the chicken is fully tender.
  5. Once cooked, remove the chicken and let any extra liquid drip off. Cube or shred the chicken on a cutting board.
  6. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if needed.
  7. Return the cubed chicken to the sauce and stir well. Cover while the pasta finishes cooking.
  8. Once pasta is al dente, stir it into the buffalo chicken mix with shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until creamy and combined. Serve warm!
