Ingredients
  

8 oz (about 225g) penne pasta

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

6 slices of bacon, chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup ranch dressing

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

      Combine Ingredients: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked chicken and stir it in with the bacon drippings for about 2 minutes until heated through.

        Add Flavorings: Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the chicken. Mix well to combine the flavors.

          Mix Pasta and Dressing: Add the cooked pasta and ranch dressing to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated with the dressing.

            Add Cheese and Tomatoes: Fold in the cherry tomatoes, shredded mozzarella cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Stir gently until the cheese is melted and everything is well mixed.

              Final Touches: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and crispy bacon on top.

                Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your creamy, delicious Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta!
