Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces bacon, chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) package pasta, cooked according to package directions
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet with the bacon grease and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream. Stir until well combined.
  5. Add the cooked chicken and most of the cooked bacon to the pasta mixture. Reserve some bacon for topping. Stir gently to incorporate.
  6. Pour the mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
  8. Top with the reserved bacon and fresh parsley, if using, before serving.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead option, prepare the casserole up to the baking step, cover, and refrigerate. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
  • You can substitute rotisserie chicken for cooked chicken breasts to save time.
  • Add cooked broccoli florets or peas for extra vegetables.
