Creamy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Emma Carter
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 ounces of pasta (penne or rotini works well)
– 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 6 slices of bacon, chopped
– 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Creamy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
3. Prepare the Chicken: In the same skillet, add olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and let it rest before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir to combine, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan for added flavor.
5. Add Seasoning: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix into the sauce and stir well until fully combined.
6. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, and cooked bacon to the skillet. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce.
7. Cheese It Up: Remove the skillet from heat, then stir in shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
8. Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

These steps will guide you to a delicious bowl of Creamy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta that everyone will love.
