One Pot Buffalo Chicken Cheesy Tortellini

Looking for delicious tortellini recipes? Look no further than this buffalo chicken and cheese tortellini recipe with a cheesy buffalo sauce, made in one pot in only 20 minutes!

I’ve been on a real buffalo sauce kick lately! From Buffalo Frito Chili Pie to Buffalo Shrimp Tacos to this scrumptious Buffalo Chicken Cheesy Tortellini, I just can’t get enough of my favorite sauce lately!

Buffalo Chicken Cheesy Penne is the most popular recipe on the blog and today I decided to give it a little twist by subbing the penne with cheesy tortellini (because more cheese, yes please!)

Needless to say, the combination of cheese, pasta and buffalo sauce is amazing!

I left town for less than 24 hours and came back to an empty leftover container. Kurt had literally eaten all of the leftovers!

I was a little sad there was none left for me, but happy he loved it so much that he couldn’t stop eating it! 😉

This easy 20 minute one pot recipe will definitely be going into regular rotation at our house!

Buffalo Chicken Cheesy Tortellini Ingredients

• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 lb chicken breasts (cut into 1 inch pieces)
• 1 cup buffalo sauce (divided)
• 20 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 oz cream cheese (cubed)
• ½ cup cheddar cheese (shredded)

Buffalo Chicken Cheesy Tortellini Instructions

Add the butter to a large skillet over medium heat.

Toss the cubed chicken with ½ cup buffalo sauce.

Once the butter is melted, add the chicken to the skillet.

Cook 4-5 minutes, then add the tortellini to the skillet with the paprika, garlic powder and salt. Pour the remaining ½ cup buffalo sauce and chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 7-8 minutes.

Remove the lid and add the cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Stir to combine, and allow the cheese to melt in for 3-4 minutes.

Top with a few diced green onions if you’d like!
