Elevate your chicken and pasta with creamy ranch dressing and crispy bacon for a quick and delicious dish perfect for any outdoor gathering or potluck.
Ingredients:
  • 8 slices bacon, diced
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 package (1 lb) cavatappi pasta
  • 1 cup frozen sweet peas (from 12-oz bag)
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 6 green onions, sliced
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 large tomato, diced
Instructions:
  • Cook bacon in a large skillet until crispy; then remove and drain on paper towels. In the same skillet with the delicious bacon drippings, cook chicken over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions, and add peas and carrots during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain the pasta and vegetables, then rinse with cold water to cool.
  • Combine bacon, chicken, and onions in a large bowl. Mix in pasta, peas, and carrots. Drizzle dressing over the mixture and toss well to coat. Top with tomato before serving. Enjoy right away or chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
