Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta | ready in 40 minutes! | The Recipe Rebel

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package instructions.

Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set on paper towel to drain.

In the same skillet with the bacon fat, cook the onion until softened. Add the chicken pieces and cook until done, about 5-7 minutes on medium high heat (checking that the internal temperature is 165 degrees F with a meat thermometer is the best way to know if it's done).

Add the Ranch seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper to the chicken and cook 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook until no white remains.

Add chicken broth and cream, cooking and stirring over medium heat until thickened.

Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup pasta water, and add pasta to the pan with the reserved bacon. Add just enough pasta water as needed to make the sauce come together (you may not need any).
