Directions
Cheddar Bacon Ranch Chicken Pasta,Found this on pinterest and wanted to get it into my cookbook! My new go to recipe when I want my kids to rave about dinner! It’s adapted from Better Homes and Gardens.,Do I have to use cheddar cheese? I shredded Colby. Will that work?,I marinated the chicken with buttermilk and the ranch mix for about 4 hours then baked it for that max tenderness. Used cream and milk and some parmesan and cut out the cheddar, flour, and butter. Fried the bacon and added diced mushrooms (just needed to get them used up) and diced onions and chicken and fried that like 30 seconds before adding to the pasta, milk, and cream. For spices used salt, pepper, celery salt, coriander, garlic powder, marjoram, ground fennel, and crushed red pepper, all just to taste. Added the parmesan just before serving. Tasted wonderful, just barely spicy and carrying that slight pizza flavor I was aiming for (I was inspired by my chicken bacon ranch pizza craving). At this point it’s basically a whole different recipe but whatevs lol 🙂
