Ingredients
  

8 oz (225g) fettuccine or penne pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

4 slices of bacon, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

1 cup (240ml) heavy cream

1 cup (240ml) chicken broth

1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: 1 cup (150g) cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions
 

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

    Cook Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, add chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Remove bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the bacon drippings in the pan.

      Cook Chicken: In the same skillet with bacon drippings, add diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Make the Sauce: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the chicken and stir to coat. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.

          Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. If using, add halved cherry tomatoes for a pop of color and flavor.

            Combine Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the creamy ranch sauce. Mix in the cooked bacon, adjusting seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

              Serve: Divide the pasta into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy your ultimate comfort food!
