    Family Dinner:

    Finding a recipe all three of my kids will eat is so easy task. This Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta is a winner with everyone. The kids all love it and even my husband went for seconds. Plus it's simple to make and taste amazing.

    How to make Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta:

    Step one: Start with cooking your penne pasta.

    Step two: While your pasta cooks, place your chicken into a large skillet. Add flour and ranch seasoning to chicken, then milk. Stirring and allowing to thicken.

    •  To make this a quick and easy meal I love using cooked and shredded chicken like one from a rotisserie chicken or slow cooker all-purpose chicken. 
    • You can also cut your chicken into pieces and cook them in the large skillet then follow the next steps of adding flour and finish the recipe from there.
