Ingredients:

  • 8 oz penne pasta
  • 4 slices bacon, diced
  • 2 tablespoons light butter
  • 1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • ½ packet dry ranch dressing mix
  • 1 ½ cups fat-free milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup fat-free shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 scallions, chopped (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and remove excess fat from the pan.
  2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In the same skillet, melt the butter, then cook the chicken until browned and no longer pink inside.
  3. Sprinkle the flour and ranch dressing mix over the chicken, stirring to coat evenly.
  4. Add the penne, chicken broth, and milk. Let everything simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once the noodles are cooked through, stir in the cheddar cheese and half of the cooked bacon. Stir until the cheese melts.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with remaining bacon and scallions, if desired.

Enjoy a creamy, cheesy, and satisfying dish perfect for any night!
