Chicken Bacon Ranch Penne

February 27, 2019 By Leah Leave a Comment

As I have mentioned before, I like to prepare a large batch of chicken in the slow cooker to use during the week for quick meal prep.  I love knowing I have a protein cooked and ready to go for any number of meals through out the week!  PLUS, I end up with a nice stash of stock for soups and chicken chili!  Even better, if you have leftover cooked meat after a few days, just toss it in the freezer for later!

I gave this new recipe a try and it received RAVE reviews from both kids!  All I have to do is mention pasta, and I have my kid’s full attention for any meal.  This is very quick to put together, requires no special ingredients and is very kid friendly.  Use a rotisserie chicken to save some time and serve with a salad for a nice balanced meal.

📌 Pin here for later!

What you need:

  • 1 lb Penne pasta (or other short cut pasta)
  • 2 cups shredded or cubed cooked chicken
  • 1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo pasta sauce
  • 1 c. ranch dressing (regular or light)
  • 2 t. ranch dressing powder/mix
  • 1/2 t. cracked black pepper
  • 6 slices chopped cooked bacon
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)

Make it:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F
  • Cook the bacon until crisp and chop into bite size pieces (I prefer to bake mine in the oven)
  • Cook the pasta in boiling, salted water until JUST soft.  Do not over cook or your pasta will become mushy since it is also baked
  • While pasta is cooking, mix Alfredo, ranch, seasonings, and chicken.
  • Drain pasta and mix into Alfredo/chicken mixture
  • Pour into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish
  • Top with shredded cheese and cooked bacon
  • Bake, uncovered for 25 Minutes or until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbling.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes before serving

The leftovers reheat wonderfully and taste even better the next day.
