Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces bacon, chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) package pasta, cooked according to package directions
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup crushed butter crackers

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cream of chicken soup, milk, and ranch dressing. Stir well.
  5. Add the cooked chicken and most of the cooked bacon to the pasta mixture. Reserve some bacon for topping. Stir to combine.
  6. Pour the mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  7. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and the reserved bacon.
  8. Sprinkle the crushed butter crackers evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead option, assemble the casserole but do not add the cracker topping. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add the cracker topping just before baking and increase the baking time by 5-10 minutes.
  • You can use rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation.
  • Feel free to add your favorite vegetables, such as broccoli florets or peas, to the casserole.
