Creating Creamy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta is a straightforward process if you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
3. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. In the same skillet, add the chicken, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and slice or dice into bite-sized pieces.
4. Make the Sauce: In the skillet, pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir in the ranch seasoning mix and bring to a gentle simmer.
5. Add Cheese: Gradually mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
6. Combine: Add the cooked pasta, chicken, and crispy bacon back into the skillet. Toss to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
7. Heat Through: Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes over low heat to warm everything together.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

With these steps, you’ll create a creamy, savory pasta dish that delights the palate and warms the heart.
