  • Author: Yara Collins
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 ounces penne pasta
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
– 6 slices of bacon, chopped
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Follow these steps to create the amazing Creamy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, add chopped bacon and cook over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess fat.

3. Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add olive oil. Once hot, add diced chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until chicken is browned and cooked through.

4. Make the Sauce: Reduce heat to low. Add heavy cream and chicken broth to the skillet with the cooked chicken. Stir in ranch seasoning mix and bring to a simmer.

5. Add Cheese: Slowly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese into the sauce, mixing until melted and the sauce is creamy.

6. Combine Pasta: Add the drained penne pasta and cooked bacon to the skillet. Toss gently to coat everything evenly in the sauce.

7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the pasta and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper as needed.

8. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
