So, I did another Pinterest recipe.
Cheddar Bacon Ranch Chicken.
I almost died it was so good.
So, this is where I got the recipe from:
And here is the recipe:
Ingredients
1 lb mostaccioli or other short pasta
6 strips bacon, diced
1 Tbsp butter
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 packet ranch dressing mix
2 cups milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
6 strips bacon, diced
1 Tbsp butter
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 packet ranch dressing mix
2 cups milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
1. Cook pasta according to package
directions in boiling salted water; drain, return to pot, and keep warm.
2. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Drain all but one tablespoon of bacon drippings from the pan.
3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the butter to the reserved bacon drippings, then add the chicken to the same skillet. Cook until tender, no longer pink, and slightly browned.
4. Sprinkle the flour and ranch dressing mix over the chicken, stirring to coat evenly. Stir in the milk, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in the cheddar cheese and half of the reserved bacon; cook and stir until the cheese is melted. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.
5. Serve each plate of pasta with more bacon sprinkled over the top. Green onions would also be a delicious topping.

I used whole wheat four, Barilla Plus Penne, and I had to eat like 2 cups of veggies before I could even try this so I didn't ruin my diet. Ty absolutely loved it and there were tons of leftovers!
In other news, I also made roasted chickpeas. Not sure if they are blog-worthy, though. We shall see.
Spending the day doing school stuff and cuddling with Whimzy. And I plan on updating the wedding binder tonight! If there are any fun new developments, I will let you know :)
