Healthy Recipes | One Pot Ranch Chicken Pasta

This post has been sponsored by Hidden Valley. All thoughts and opinions, as always, are my own.

It has to be the delicious combination of rotisserie chicken, peas, bacon, and rigatoni in a creamy white cheddar Hidden Valley® Original Ranch sauce.

As a means to educate you about Walmart’s 6th year of “Fight Hunger. Spark Change” program and how Hidden Valley Ranch has opted to take part in this partnership, I wanted to create an easy chicken pasta recipe.

When you purchase one bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch at Walmart with the Fight Hunger sticker on it, one meal will be donated to a person in need within your community.

With your purchase of just one Hidden Valley Ranch bottle at Walmart, you can feed a needy person while using the bottle to make this easy chicken pasta recipe to feed your own family.

This cheesy baked pasta comes together so effortlessly in ONE PAN, topped with crisp bacon. It just doesn’t get any better!

One Pot Ranch Chicken Pasta

Prep Time: 10 mins

Cook Time: 25 mins

Total Time: 35 mins

Servings: 10 servings

Calories: 459kcal

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked chicken diced or shredded*
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 tablespoon Italian parsley chopped, garnish, optional
• 2 scallions thinly sliced, garnish, optional
• 4 ounces cream cheese medium dice
• 8 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese shredded
• 1/4 cup Hidden Valley Ranch plus more for garnish, optional
• 4 slices bacon 1/2 inch dice
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 pound rigatoni
• 4 cups chicken stock

Instructions:

1. First, In a large dutch oven over medium-low heat, add the bacon and cook until crispy. Drain the bacon and reserve on the side. Drain off half of the bacon grease and discard. Sautee the garlic in the bacon fat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add in the rigatoni and coat in the fat. Add the chicken stock and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and simmer for 12 minutes or until the pasta is al dente, stirring every couple minutes to make sure the pasta doesn't stick the bottom of the pan.
2. Second, Once the pasta is cooked, add in the cream cheese and cheddar, let melt stirring constantly. Add in the ranch, diced chicken, and peas, stir to combine. Let simmer until the sauce is thickened to your liking, about 3-5 minutes.**
3. Serve with the leftover bacon on top, with an optional garnish of parsley, scallions, and more ranch. 

Notes:

• I use rotisserie chicken, so easy!
• The pasta will continue to soak up the sauce after cooking, keep this in mind while thickening.
