INGREDIENTS:
- 1 pound penne
- 1/2 pound thick sliced bacon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 1 oz packet ranch dressing mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups pepper jack cheese, shredded
- green onions, optional garnish
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Cook pasta according to the package directions. Once cooked, rinse pasta in a colander and set aside.
- Meanwhile, place a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy.
- Remove bacon and pat dry with paper towels. Drain most of the bacon grease from the pan, but leave about 1 tablespoon of grease in the pan.
- Add garlic, onion and diced chicken to the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until chicken is fully cooked (~9-10 minutes).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing mix and milk. Add milk and diced tomatoes to the skillet; stir until well combined.
- Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture has reduced in volume and thickened noticeably (~18-20 minutes).
- Add the cooked pasta, sour cream, pepper jack cheese and bacon; stir until cheese has fully melted.
- Garnish with sliced green onions before serving (optional).
