During the school week I’m tired when I get home.   While I love to have a home cooked meal, I usually like to make ones that don’t require a lot of work.  My theory is the quicker the better as long as the meals are delicious and packed with flavor.  So when I found PERDUE®  new signature refrigerated chicken stock in the refrigerator case at the market I couldn’t wait to incorporate this flavorful stock into a quick and easy weeknight meal.

Perdue signature chicken stock is made with antibiotic-free chicken and contains no preservatives or artificial flavors which means it’s better for my family.   I also love the convenient packaging with a side window and measurements so it’s easy to see how much is left! 

Once I had the chicken stock I began forming a recipe in my head.  I though some type of chicken and pasta would be filling and easy to make.  My husband really likes buffalo chicken so I wanted to incorporate that into the recipe as well.  I ended up making One Pot Buffalo Chicken Alfredo.

The cool thing about this recipe is that everything is made in one pot so not only is it easy to make, but there’s only one pot to wash at the end of dinner.  In order to make the dish the chicken is first cooked in the skillet along with the hot sauce to give it some flavor.

Then the Perdue signature chicken stock and milk is added to the skillet.  There’s no water involved in this recipe.   This allows the pasta to soak up all the delicious flavor from the chicken stock which really makes a difference in the sauce.

Next the pasta is added along with some seasonings.   The mixture is covered and boils for about 13 minutes and when the lid comes off dinner is just about ready!   I added in some parmesan cheese, parsley, and another splash of hot sauce and then dinner was ready to go.

This meal is just awesome.   The pasta is cooked perfectly and has a lot of flavor from the chicken stock.  The sauce has a light cheese flavor and coats both the noodles and the chicken.   The buffalo sauce really gives the pasta a nice kick.  My husband and I both enjoyed the convenience and the delicious taste of this easy weeknight pasta dish.
