Chicken, Bacon, & Ranch Flavor Bomb Pasta
There aren’t many combinations that are as time tested as bacon and ranch.
I decided to throw together a pasta dish one evening with the bacon and ranch combination and then add some chicken because we have to make sure we hit our daily protein intake right?
Finished Product
