8 oz pasta

1 lb chicken breast, diced

4 slices of bacon, chopped

1 ranch seasoning packet

1 cup spinach

½ cup heavy cream

3 Tbsp ranch dressing

Salt and pepper to taste

Parmesan cheese for topping

Cook the pasta according to the instructions, then drain and set aside. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan. Add the diced chicken to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the ranch seasoning, ranch dressing, spinach, and heavy cream until well combined. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes until it thickens slightly. Then mix in the cooked pasta and crispy bacon. Stir well to combine and heat through for about 2 minutes. Top with Parmesan cheese and serve warm.
