  • Author: Ava Reynolds
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

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


Instructions

Creating your own Creamy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta is as easy as following these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook until thoroughly cooked, about 6-8 minutes.

3. Add Bacon: Once the chicken is cooked, lower the heat and stir in the crumbled bacon. This adds a wonderful crunch and smokiness.

4. Create the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and ranch seasoning mix. Stir well to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

5. Mix in Cream: Gradually add the heavy cream to the skillet, whisking continuously until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

6. Incorporate Pasta: Add the drained pasta into the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure the pasta is well-coated with the sauce.

7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese into the pasta, stirring until melted and incorporated into the dish.

8. Taste and Adjust: Check the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if necessary.

9. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy your Creamy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta!
