Steps

30-60 minutes

1

Chop up bacon and as much onion as you want and fry in pan till done(i prefer crispy)
2

Remove bacon to a plate with onions for now once done. DO NOT DRAIN BACON GREASE
3

Chop up your chicken into small pieces and season with spices in a mixing bowl. I listed the ones i used in ingredients. Also mix some buffalo sauce in with the mix.
4

Cook chicken in same pan with bacon grease for 5-7 minutes or until done and not pink. You can add more spices if you see fit
5

While chicken is cooking, get a second pot for the pasta. If you use 1 box of pasta, you should not need to strain the pasta. Pour in chicken broth box, cup of milk. And as much buffalo sauce as you desire. Cook till pasta is done, should be some sauce left, don't strain. I did med-hi to high, took roughly 8-10 minutes
6

Cut up block of cheese and half a block of cream cheese. Mix into pasta along side chicken, bacon and onions into 1 pot.
7

Cook till cheese is melted and if done right, should be creamy. Now just taste test and add any extra spices or buffalo sauce you might desire to make it more flavorful
