A flavorful casserole packed with chicken, crumbled bacon, and pasta! Family approved and the #1 recipe on my blog!

Ingredients
1/2 lb bacon, cooked and chopped
1 lb chicken, boneles/skinless, diced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 packet dry Ranch dressing mix
8 oz pasta (I used shells)
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
salt/pepper, to taste
14.5 oz Alfredo sauce
Instructions
Preheat oven to375 degrees and grease a 9 x 9 baking dish.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon until crispy, about 7 minutes.

Drain bacon grease from skillet and place bacon on paper towl to absorb remaining grease from bacon.

In a gallon size Ziploc bag, add in the olive oil, diced chicken (raw still at this point), and Ranch mix.

Shake around sealed bag to coat thoroughly.

Add chicken to skillet and cook until no longer pink.

In a pot of boiling water, cook pasta until al dente.
