When my grandson came home from college last weekend, I wanted to welcome him with something comforting and full of flavor. I decided to make chicken bacon ranch pasta, a hearty dish that combines creamy sauce, tender chicken, and crispy bacon — everything a hungry college student could want!
Step 1: Gather the Ingredients
To start, I laid out everything I needed:
-
Boneless chicken breasts
-
Crispy cooked bacon
-
Pasta (I used penne, but any shape works!)
-
Creamy ranch dressing
-
Shredded cheese
-
Garlic, butter, and a splash of cream
The kitchen already smelled amazing before I even started cooking.
Step 2: Cook the Pasta
I brought a pot of salted water to a boil and cooked the pasta until it was perfectly al dente. After draining it, I set it aside — ready to soak up that creamy goodness later.
Step 3: Prepare the Chicken and Bacon
Next, I seasoned the chicken lightly and cooked it until golden brown on both sides. Then came the bacon — crisped to perfection. Once cooled, I crumbled it into small, irresistible pieces.
