Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces bacon, chopped
  • 1 pound pasta (penne or rotini recommended)
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
  4. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet with the bacon grease and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cooked chicken, cooked bacon, condensed cream of chicken soup, dry ranch seasoning mix, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream. Stir until well combined.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead option, prepare the casserole up to step 5, cover, and refrigerate. Bake as directed, adding an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
  • You can substitute rotisserie chicken for cooked chicken to save time.
  • Add your favorite vegetables like broccoli florets or peas for extra nutrition.
