- Ingredients:
- 12 oz penne pasta
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
- Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the cooked pasta, crumbled bacon, sour cream, and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined and heated through.
- Transfer the pasta mixture to a greased baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
