What is Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce?

Buffalo Wild Wings is an American restaurant that serves a ton of different wings with yummy sauces. One of the most popular sauces is their Garlic Parmesan Sauce. It is a creamy and rich sauce with Italian herbs, parmesan, and red chili flakes. It is a very intense sauce, rated as a medium heat, which is why I pair it with milk and cream cheese to balance the sauce for a pasta dish.

Their wing sauce is so popular that Buffalo Wild Wings started selling it in grocery stores and online. You can also buy it right at any of their restaurant locations too. If you can’t find it or prefer to make the garlic parmesan sauce yourself check out this recipe to make it at home. This sauce is great on chicken, pork, potatoes, pizza, and even as a dipping sauce.

Caution - It Might Be Spicy!

Many readers told me they were surprised by the spiciness of the sauce I wanted to make a note of it letting you know this sauce does have a little spice from the red chili flakes and kick to it!

I rate this at a 3 on a 10 scale. I didn’t think it was all that spicy, and my teen daughter ate it with no problem. However, I've gotten comments from people who complained about the spice. If you are sensitive to heat cut the sauce in half, add sour cream, or add a little bit of heavy cream at the end to tone it down.

I remade this recipe just last night. I said that I thought it somewhere between a mild and medium buffalo hot wing. Then after dinner, I looked at the Buffalo Wild Wings website to see what they said. They say the same thing on their scale - in between a mild and medium. Regardless - it's a happy kick of heat.

Interesting note on this dish is that when reheating the leftover pasta (in a microwave-safe dish), the spice level is much lower than when its freshly cooked.

Ingredients for Crock Pot Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta

Make this dinner in a snap with just 6 ingredients! All the flavors combine to make this dish the perfect balance of creamy cheesy deliciousness.

Boneless skinless chicken breasts: The boneless chicken breasts serve as the main protein source for the dish. They provide a tender and flavorful base for the pasta. You can use chicken thighs instead if you want to.

Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce: The Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce is the star ingredient that brings the signature flavor to the dish. It adds a tangy, zesty, and slightly spicy note that enhances the overall taste profile.

Cream Cheese: Cream cheese adds a rich and creamy element to the dish. It helps create a luscious and velvety sauce that coats the chicken and pasta.

Milk: Used to thin out the sauce and create a smoother consistency. It helps balance the richness of the cream cheese and provides a mild sweetness.

Grated Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese adds a nutty and salty flavor to the dish. It enhances the creaminess and complements the garlic Parmesan sauce, making it even more delectable.

Rotini or Penne Pasta: The rotini or penne is the pasta component of the dish. These pastas add a satisfying texture and help to hold the sauce, creating a well-rounded pasta meal. Any smaller pasta would be just fine though (bowtie, rigatoni, etc).

Salt and black pepper to taste: Salt and pepper are essential for seasoning chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-seasoned and flavorful. They also help enhance the overall taste of the dish.

How to Make Crock Pot Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta

Make sure to see the full recipe at the bottom of this post. You can print it and adjust the ingredients based on how many servings you want.

Toss all of the ingredients in for a set-it-and-forget-it dinner! This one-pot dinner is my go-to for busy nights.  

Step 1. Spray the inside of the crockpot with non-stick cooking spray. If you don't have a spray, dab a little bit of olive oil (or melt butter instead) on a paper towel and wipe the inside of crockpot.

Step 2. Add chicken breasts to the bottom of the crockpot. You do not have to brown the meat in a large skillet (this is an easy chicken pasta recipe, right?)

Step 3. Pour the entire bottle of the parmesan garlic sauce over the chicken.

Step 4. Pour milk into the garlic parmesan garlic sauce bottle and shake it up. Pour the milk over the chicken. You can use heavy cream as a substitute for milk, but I suggest filling the bottle ¾ full. If the desired consistency isn't met (i.e. too thick), you can always add more to the crockpot as you go. You can always add, but you can't take it out!

Step 5. Add the cream cheese and parmesan cheese on top of the chicken and sauce.

Step 6. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours and high for 2-3 hours. Toward the end of the cooking process, if you still see the cream cheese looking clumpy, just break up the clumps with a spoon and stir the sauce.

Step 7. Once finished cooking, shred chicken. Pull the chicken breast out and shred with two forks. Put the shredded chicken back in the crockpot and stir. If you're using a rotisserie chicken, this is where you'd add it.

Step 8. Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water according to package instructions and drain.

Step 9. Pour pasta into the crockpot. Stir to combine all the ingredients and serve.

Tips and Suggestions

Different Ways to Serve Garlic Parmesan Chicken

There are several variations you can try to customize this  Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta recipe to keep this delicious recipe in the meal rotation. Here are a few ideas:

Veggie Delight: Incorporate colorful vegetables into the dish for added nutrition and flavor. I love to add broccoli, spinach, and sliced red bell peppers in the last hour to add veggies to this dinner.. Simply add them to the crockpot along with the chicken and sauce.

Bacon Lovers: Crumble cooked bacon and mix it into the pasta before serving. The smoky and savory bacon bits will add an extra layer of deliciousness to the dish.

Fresh Herbs: Add a burst of freshness by sprinkling chopped fresh herbs like fresh parsley, basil, or chives over the pasta before serving. This will enhance the flavors and provide a pop of color.

Lemon Zest: For a bright twist and a little extra flavor, add the zest of a lemon to the sauce mixture. The lemon zest will add a refreshing note that complements the garlic Parmesan flavors. A dash of lemon juice will work too - just make sure to add a TINY bit at a time and taste, taste, taste.

Creamy Tomato: If you enjoy a fusion of flavors, mix in a few tablespoons of tomato paste or marinara sauce to the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce. This will create a unique and delicious combination of creamy and tangy elements.

Spicy Kick: If you love some extra heat, add diced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture. This will give the dish a spicy twist and elevate the flavor profile.

If you want to use pre-cooked chicken like a rotisserie chicken you can do that. Just cook your pasta in the Wild Wings cream sauce according to the recipe card. Add the chicken to the cooked pasta at the same time the recipe card says to shred your chicken breasts.

What to serve with Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta?

Garlic Bread or Breadsticks: Serve some warm garlic bread or breadsticks on the side. The crusty exterior and soft, buttery interior will be perfect for sopping up the creamy sauce.

Side Salad: Prepare a fresh salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and a tangy vinaigrette dressing. The crispness of the salad will provide a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors of the pasta.

Steamed Broccoli: Steam some vibrant green broccoli florets until tender-crisp. It's a simple and nutritious side dish that pairs well with creamy pasta.

Caesar Salad: Prepare a classic Caesar salad with fresh romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, homemade croutons, and a creamy Caesar dressing. The flavors will complement the pasta, and the crunchy (gluten-free) croutons will add texture.

Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta- Low Carb and Keto

This recipe is a great low-carb and keto choice. The sauce is filled with flavors of cheesy goodness and only has one gram of added sugar. I was so happy to find this low-carb sauce because I feel like it’s very hard to find packaged sauces that are low-carb. They are usually packed with sugar. I have served this over zoodles, which are zucchini noodles and it came out great. We have this zoodle maker which we use all the time. Or you can even buy zoodles at most grocery stores now in the produce department.

Want gluten-free? Make sure to use gluten free pasta to keep this dish gluten free. Our favorite pasta is the Gluten-Free Barillla Pasta line. I find that it is the best one at staying together while cooking and the taste is just like real pasta. I used the Barilla Gluten-Free Rotini for this recipe.
