Crock Pot Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta

There are two things I love cheese and garlic. I can’t get enough of either and anytime there is an option to put them together I’m sold.  Luckily this Parmesan Garlic Chicken Pasta has entered my life to take care of both cravings! If you have ever been to Buffalo Wild Wings and had their garlic parmesan wings you know how great the sauce is. Once I saw they were selling the Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan sauce in the store I knew it was going to be a hit with making so many different meals.

Crock Pot Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta

I’m always on the lookout for a simple recipe that is tasty and quick to prepare. Sometimes when you make recipes that are quick, they lack flavor and depth. This chicken is delicious, tender, and has tons of flavor thanks to the Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce. Another delicious garlic chicken recipe is my one-pot Garlic Butter Chicken with Veggies. Like I said I love garlic!

I love easy pasta dinners that are filling and can be made in the crockpot! This Crockpot Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta is my most popular recipe. Another fan favorite is my Crockpot Baked Ziti pasta dish. I think that these are a hit because they are cheesy comfort foods that are simple to make in the Crockpot.

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 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.

Many readers told me they were surprised by the spiciness of the sauce I wanted to make a note of it at the very beginning of the recipe letting you know this sauce does have a little spice from the red chili flakes and kick to it! I didn’t think it was spicy but if you are sensitive to heat cut the sauce in half or add sour cream at the end to tone it down.

Crockpot Chicken Recipes

This crockpot chicken recipe is always a weekday favorite for me because it only needs a few ingredients that require no prep.  I always keep my pantry stocked with the Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce and pasta so I can just dump it all into the crockpot and dinner is done. But I will say I have served it for guests, and everyone always asks for the recipe because the flavor is so unique and to die for. I know many readers have told me they have this Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken pasta several times a month because people can’t get enough of it!

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.

Chicken breasts: The chicken breasts serve as the main protein source for the dish. They provide a tender and flavorful base for the pasta.

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: Milk is 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 noodles: The rotini noodles are the pasta component of the dish. They add a satisfying texture and help to hold the sauce, creating a well-rounded pasta meal.

Salt and 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.

tips &

  1. Adjust the Heat Level: If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce or opt for a mild version. Try Sweet Baby Ray’s Garlic Parmesan Sauce since it has a mild flavor. Conversely, if you love spice, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to amp up the heat.
  2. Season the Chicken: Make sure to season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper before placing them in the slow cooker. This step will enhance the flavor of the chicken and ensure it’s well seasoned throughout the dish.
  3. Use a Slow Cooker Liner: To make cleanup easier, consider using a slow cooker liner before adding the ingredients. It will prevent the sauce from sticking to the sides, making cleanup a breeze.
  4. Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked and tender, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Shredding the chicken will distribute the flavors evenly and make it easier to mix with the sauce and pasta.
  5. Cook Pasta Al Dente: When boiling the rotini noodles, cook them until they are al dente, which means they still have a slight firmness to them. This ensures they hold their shape when mixed with the sauce and chicken, preventing them from becoming mushy.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, consider garnishing the dish with fresh chopped parsley or additional grated Parmesan cheese. These finishing touches add a pop of color and an extra layer of flavor to the final presentation.
  7. Double the Recipe: This recipe can easily be doubled to serve a larger crowd or for meal prepping. Simply adjust the ingredient quantities accordingly and ensure your slow cooker can accommodate the increased volume.

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:

Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta

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 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 and tangy twist, add the zest of a lemon to the sauce mixture. The lemon zest will add a refreshing note that complements the garlic Parmesan flavors.

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.

Remember, these variations are meant to inspire your creativity and experimentation. Feel free to mix and match different ideas or even create your own unique twist on the Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta recipe. It’s always fun to try new crockpot creations! Make sure and comment on the recipe if you do a variation that you love.

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.

Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta

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 served this over zoodles, which are zucchini noodles for my low-carb hubby and he loved it. 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.

Where Can I Buy Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce?

You can purchase this sauce on Amazon, here’s the link. Plus it is available at most local grocery stores, Walmart, Target, and Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurants.

Food Allergies

My husband has celiac disease which means you are allergic to gluten. 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.

Need a new Crock-Pot?

My favorite is this Crock Pot 7 quart Programmable Slow Cooker. First and foremost, I love being able to set the timer in case I’m not home when the food is finished cooking. The Crock-Pot just switches to warm until you are ready to eat. Plus you can lock the lid and just carry it to a party. Not only is it easy to carry but also you will never lose another Tupperware or serving dish again at a potluck party!

    My family loves this dish! It’s one of the few that all 5 are happy about! It stays in our regular rotation. What would you suggest for warming up leftovers to keep them from being dry?

      Hi Stacey! If I know I’m having it for leftovers I actually keep some chicken aside and don’t put the pasta until the night we eat it again. Otherwise, I would just add some milk to the pasta for reheating with leftovers.

    My picky family LOVES this recipe!!! I typically swap the milk for heavy cream if I have it on hand and it makes it even creamier. There is rarely left overs but when there is we use a tiny bit of butter when reheating it and it works wonders!

    I have not made this, but could you use a cooked rotisserie chicken shredded in place of chicken breasts as a shortcut way to make this? I am going to try this very soon as I don’t have the parmesan cheese for it.

    • Allison Treadwell says

      June 23, 2022 at 2:23 pm

      Hi Linda! Yes, you can use shredded chicken instead. You just want to make sure to get the sauce combined thoroughly. You can just cook it all on the stovetop for about 10-15 minutes or until the sauce consistency is to your liking. Then just add shredded chicken and cooked pasta.

    Hi, I am just wondering if the chicken is done cooking after 3-4 hours on low? Other recipes I have made have taken closer to 6-8 hours on low. Thanks!

      Hi Erica, I usually only need to cook my boneless skinless chicken for 4 hours at the most. Every crock pot is different so yours might be different. I recommend testing the chicken with a meat thermometer to make sure it is cooked to 165 degrees. If I cooked chicken breasts for 6-8 hours they might end up dry.

    What would be the cooking time if you used frozen chicken breasts?? We’ve made this recipe before and it’s delicious!! I just forgot to set out the chicken this time 😩

      Sorry I was traveling and didn’t get back to you in time. Hopefully, you figured it out. I usually add 2 hours to frozen chicken.

    If I’m cutting the recipe how much sour cream would I use so it’s not so spicy

      I would add 1/2 cup to start and see if it is enough.

    Could you put the chicken over anything except pasta? We are working on cutting carbs but this sounds delicious!

      Hi Madison! We are doing the same thing at my house. I usually use zucchini noodles instead of pasta to keep it low carb. I flash cook them in boiling water and they are delicious with the chicken and sauce.
