A creamy and comforting pasta dish infused with ranch flavors and topped with crispy bacon, perfect for family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces penne pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thick-cut bacon slices and cook until crispy and golden brown. Remove the bacon and set aside, keeping the bacon fat in the skillet.
  2. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sprinkle ranch seasoning over them, ensuring they are well coated. Brown the chicken until golden and cooked through.
  3. Add the penne pasta and low-sodium chicken broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, allowing the pasta to cook until al dente.
  4. Stir in the cream cheese until melted and integrated into a luscious sauce that hugs the pasta.
  5. Fold in the crispy bacon and shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until well combined.
  6. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add color and freshness.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for best flavor. Avoid overcooking the chicken to keep it juicy.
