Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the penne pasta, and cook until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then whisk in 1 cup of heavy cream and ranch seasoning. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Stir in the cooked chicken and crumbled bacon until well coated. Then add half of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked penne pasta with the creamy chicken mixture and season with salt and pepper. Fold together gently.
- Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
