03 - 12 ounces grilled chicken breasts, chopped.
04 - 3/4 cup buffalo sauce.
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
06 - 6 ounces Monterey Jack, shredded.

10 - Salt and pepper as you like.
11 - 1 pound penne or similar pasta.
12 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened.

# Instructions:

02 - In a saucepan, melt butter on low heat. Stir in cream cheese and garlic powder until smooth.
03 - Slowly pour in the milk. Mix in the buffalo sauce and cheese, stirring until thick and creamy.
04 - In a pan, heat butter over medium. Toss in chicken and warm through for about 6-10 minutes.
