How To Make chicken bacon ranch casserole

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees

Step 2

Cut Chicken breast into bite size cubes
Step 3

Cut bacon into approximately 1 inch strips
Step 4

Place your cubed chicken in a large skillet, cook on medium heat. When Chicken is about halfway done add your bacon to the chicken and cook until bacon has a semi-crisp but still soft consistency and your chicken is cooked thoroughly.
Step 5

Boil pasta while your bacon and chicken are cooking
Step 6

When meat is finished, drain all excess grease.
Step 7

Drain pasta
Step 8

Combine Sour cream and ranch seasoning in a large bowl. Add 1/2 of each package of cheese to mixture. Then combine pasta, bacon and chicken. Mix well until pasta and chicken and bacon are completely coated. If it looks a little dry, add a few splashes of milk. It should be just between a thick and thin consistency.
Step 9

Place mixture into a Large greased baking pan. Cover with remaining cheese. Top with Bacon Pieces and slivered onions. Dust top with parsley.
Step 10

Place in 375 degree oven for 30-45 minutes or until gold and bubbly.
