Follow these simple steps to create your Creamy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta effortlessly:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the penne pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat, leaving the grease in the skillet.
3. Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the cubed chicken breast. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the ranch seasoning, heavy cream, and chicken broth to the skillet with the chicken. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.
5. Add Cheese: Once the mixture is simmering, add the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until melted and the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss gently to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce.
7. Add Bacon and Green Onions: Stir in the reserved bacon and chopped green onions until everything is evenly mixed.
8. Serve Immediately: Taste the pasta and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve hot with additional green onions or parsley for garnish, if desired.

With these easy steps, you’ll have a delicious and creamy chicken bacon ranch pasta that everyone will love!
