Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta

INGREDIENTS

1 lb Chicken Breast (Pieces)
4 Slices Thick Cut Bacon (Chopped)
1 Sweet Onion (Diced)
1 Green Pepper (Diced)
16 oz Whole Wheat Penne
6 TBSP Ranch Seasoning
1 TBSP Olive Oil
8 oz Cream Cheese
2 Cups Shredded Cheddar
1/2 Cup Sour Cream

DIRECTIONS

  1. Cook pasta according to directions on box.
  2. As pasta water heats to a boil, add olive oil to a large, hot, skillet and cook bacon to desired crispiness. Add onion and green pepper when bacon is close to desired cripsines. Cook until bacon is done and set aside.
  3. Cook chicken on medium heat in skillet.
  4. Return bacon and vegetable mixture to skillet. Add cream cheese and ranch, and cook until cheese is melted (stirring so it’s distributed evenly). Stir in sour cream.
  5. When pasta is done and drained, stir in everything including cheddar cheese. Enjoy!

*Note: I use whole wheat pastas, but you can use your favorite kind. Also, tomatoes can be used instead of onion (I was out of tomatoes when I made this).
