Buffalo Chicken & Steak Pasta (Spicy, Creamy, and One-Pan Simple)

One pan. Two meats. Thirty minutes. Let’s go.

If your dinner routine needs a little fire and a lot of flavor, this skillet meal is your new obsession. We're talking creamy buffalo sauce, juicy steak, tender chicken, and pasta that holds it all together like a champ. Bonus: it's all done in one skillet.

Whether you're feeding the family or just yourself (with leftovers for days), this one hits.

🛒 Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 lb steak (cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
8 oz pasta (penne, rotini, or your favorite)
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup buffalo wing sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped green onions (for garnish – optional)

🍳 Directions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chicken and steak and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Pour in pasta and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Stir in heavy cream, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar, and cream cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add chicken and steak back in, stir to combine, and heat through.
Top with green onions and serve hot.
