Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta
By Malooga
This chicken bacon ranch pasta is one of my favorite recipes to make at home! Although it’s not the quickest or easiest, it’s always a winner with my husband. What recipe that includes bacon isn’t wonderful? You can serve this with a nice side salad or some garlic bread.

- 6 strips of bacon, diced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

Preparation
Step 1
Start by cooking your pasta, draining it, and setting it aside.
While you are making your noodles; cook your bacon on a skillet, drain the grease but keep 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings in the pan.
Add a tablespoon of butter to the bacon drippings and toss in your chicken breast pieces (cook until no longer pink/browned).
Pour the ranch dressing mix and flour over the chicken then add the 2 cups of milk. Stir until it is bubbly and thick.
Add the cheese and half of your diced bacon pieces to the pan; stir until melted.
Combine the sauce and pasta noodles together – add salt and pepper to taste.
Top off the dish with the extra bacon pieces and ENJOY!
