Ingredients

8 oz (225g) rotini pasta

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 packet (1 oz) ranch dressing mix

8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened

1 cup (240ml) chicken broth

1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese

4 slices crispy cooked bacon, crumbled

1 cup (120g) green onions, chopped

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 rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, over medium heat, add a small amount of oil and cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before shredding.

Make the Sauce: In the same skillet over medium heat, add the cream cheese and chicken broth. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and fully incorporated into the broth. Add the ranch dressing mix and stir until combined and smooth.

Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken back to the skillet, then fold in the cooked pasta, cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Stir until everything is well mixed and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Serve: Divide the pasta mixture among plates or serve family-style in a large bowl. Top with chopped green onions and sprinkle with parsley if desired. Enjoy your delicious creamy crack chicken pasta!
