To begin with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can cook crack chicken penne pasta using 9 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Crack Chicken Penne Pasta:
  1. Prepare 4 slices bacon
  2. Take 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (cut small, bite size)
  3. Make ready 1 oz or 2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
  4. Get 8 oz penne pasta (your choice of pasta)
  5. Prepare 3 1/2 cups chicken broth
  6. Prepare 1 small yellow onion chopped
  7. Prepare 4 oz cream cheese
  8. Get 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  9. Take 1 tbsp fresh or dried parsley
Instructions to make Crack Chicken Penne Pasta:
  1. Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pot and drain some of the bacon fat, leaving about 1 tbsp of fat. Chop the bacon into bits.
  2. In the same pot add the chicken and cook for about 3 minutes over medium-high heat, until it starts to brown. It will still be pink inside and uncooked.
  3. Add the ranch seasoning mix to the chicken and stir, making sure each chicken pieces is coated in the seasoning mix.
  4. Add the penne, chicken broth and stir, then bring to a boil. Reduce to a low heat, cover and cook for abut 15 to 20 minutes or until the pasta is cooked al dente or to your preference. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot. There should still be some liquid in the pot when the pasta is done cooking. Add more broth if needed, though I found that 3 1/2 cups was perfect. Add the onion.
  5. Add the cream cheese to the pot and stir it in, until the sauce is creamy and most of the cream cheese has melted.
  6. Add the bacon back to the pot then add about 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir everything until well combined. The cheese should melt nicely.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining half cup of cheddar cheese over the top and cover the pot with the lid. Cook for about 30 seconds then turn off the heat and remove the lid. The cheese should have melted. Alternatively you can place the Dutch oven in the oven under the broiler for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and starts to brown on top.
  8. Garnish with parsley and serve.
