    Crack Chicken Pasta is a fantastic 30 minute meal. The juicy chicken in creamy ranch sauce with pasta is a perfect combo. It’s addicting and so easy, you will want to make it again and again! I love this crack chicken recipe because it’s really easy, quick and besides the noodles, it’s all made in one pot. It’s definitely one you will want to add to your stash of easy dinner recipes.

    Instructions

    1
    |
    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon to your preferred level of doneness.
    2
    |
    Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
    3
    |
    Season the chopped chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the hot bacon grease and cook until browned all over and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (approximately 6-8 minutes).
    4
    |
    Meanwhile, prepare the pasta according to package directions. Drain but do not rinse.
    5
    |
    Remove the chicken to a clean plate as you prepare the ranch sauce.
    6
    |
    Add the chicken broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then add the sour cream and cream cheese and stir as the cream cheese melts. Add a bit more broth or milk to achieve a smooth consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
    7
    |
    Season with ranch seasoning.
    8
    |
    Chop the bacon. Add all but a couple tablespoons of bacon to the skillet, along with 3/4 cup of the cheddar cheese and shredded chicken. Stir to combine.
    9
    |
    Add the pasta and stir to coat.
