Cooking Instructions:
- In a large pot, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
- While the pasta is cooking, cut the bacon into small pieces. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until it's crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain. Keep the bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add the cream cheese and ranch seasoning packet in the same pot as the pasta. Stir over low heat until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is well combined.
- Add the shredded chicken to the pasta mixture in the pot. Toss everything together to ensure the pasta and chicken are well coated. If the mixture is too thick, add some reserved pasta broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
- Add the shredded cheese to the pot and stir until the cheese is melted and the pasta is creamy. Finally, add the cooked bacon pieces and mix everything well.
- Serve the Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta hot. You can garnish with extra shredded cheese, chopped parsley, or green onions for added flavor and presentation.
