Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta

One day after opening our bag of bacon bits, the perfect recipe inspiration hit! I could combine a can of chicken, some bacon… and ranch seasoning would tie everything together! So in to the galley I went with a few ideas running around in my head and I created a super tasty dish!

Ingredients:

  • Onion, pepper, mushrooms, tomato
  • butter and flour (2Tbsp of each for roux)
  • 2 cups of milk (I used powdered milk)
  • Ranch seasoning
  • Canned chicken
  • Bacon bits
  • Pasta

Cook your favorite pasta, I used angel hair! Start with sautéing an onion, pepper, and mushrooms in butter.  Scoot all these goodies to the side of the pan and add 2Tbsp of butter.  Slowly add 2Tbsp of flour to create a roux that will thicken up the sauce.  Stir it around until its nice and bubbly.  Slowly add 2cups of milk and bring to simmer.  Add your can of diced tomatoes (or fresh).  Add 3Tbsp of ranch seasoning (homemade, or the ranch packet), add chicken and bacon. Throw your pasta in this delicious goodness!

-This would be even yummier and creamier with some cheese or cream cheese!
