Cremige Crack-Chicken-Penne

Zutaten

• 1 lb penne pasta
• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
• 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (approx. 1 oz)
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Cook the Pasta: Boil the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta well and set it aside for later use.

2. 2

   Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the cream cheese, ranch seasoning mix, and chicken broth. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring the cream cheese is fully melted into the sauce.

3. 3

   Add Chicken and Bacon: Stir the shredded cooked chicken and crumbled cooked bacon into the creamy sauce in the skillet, mixing well to evenly combine all ingredients.

4. 4

   Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and gently stir to coat the pasta thoroughly with the creamy chicken and bacon sauce.

5. 5

   Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the pasta in the skillet. Cover the skillet and allow the cheese to melt, about 3-5 minutes, creating a gooey cheesy topping.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped green onions for a burst of color and mild onion flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
