This chicken bacon ranch pasta is one of my favorite recipes to make at home! Although it's not the quickest or easiest, it's always a winner with my husband. What recipe that includes bacon isn't wonderful? You can serve this with a nice side salad or some garlic bread. Another favorite chicken recipe of mine is white chicken enchiladas!
Watch me actually make it in this video!
