A dish that the whole family will like is chicken bacon ranch casserole. With lots of cheese, creamy ranch sauce, shredded chicken, bacon, and pasta, it's quite simple to prepare. Simplified enough for hectic weeknights, yet incredibly delicious meal!
Ingredients
- 12 Ounces penne pasta
- 8 Slices bacon divided
- 3 cups cooked chicken breast
- 2 cups Alfredo Sauce
- 1½ tbsp ranch Seasoning 1 Packet
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese divided
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh parsley chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Set aside a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and coat it with cooking spray. Then, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Penne pasta should be cooked as directed on the package, drained, and then left aside.
- Cook the bacon and cut it into 1-inch pieces while the pasta cooks. Set aside half of the bacon.
- Once the chicken breast is cooked, shred it and place it in a big bowl with half of the chopped bacon, ranch seasoning, alfredo sauce, ½ cup mozzarella cheese, ¼ parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Thoroughly combine all ingredients. When the pasta is cooked, add it to the bowl and stir until the spaghetti is completely incorporated.
- Scatter the ingredients equally in the baking dish that has been prepared. Top the casserole with the remaining bacon, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses.
- Bake, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown. Take it out of the oven and give it at least five minutes to rest before garnishing with parsley and serving.
