Cheddar Bacon Ranch Chicken Pasta Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by chelseap09

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound mostaccioli or other short pasta
6 strips bacon, diced
1 tablespoon butter
2 chicken breast, boneless skinless halves, cut into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 packet ranch dressing mix
2 cups milk
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions in boiling salted water; drain, return to pot, and keep warm. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Drain all but one tablespoon of bacon drippings from the pan. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the butter to the reserved bacon drippings, then add the chicken to the same skillet. Cook until tender, no longer pink, and slightly browned. Sprinkle the flour and ranch dressing mix over the chicken, stirring to coat evenly. Stir in the milk, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in the cheddar cheese and half of the reserved bacon; cook and stir until the cheese is melted. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Add the cheese sauce to the reserved pasta and stir to combine. Serve each plate of pasta with more bacon sprinkled over the top. Green onions would also be a delicious topping.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce curdled and the pasta was overcooked. I won't be making this again.
