Cream Cheese Bacon Chicken Pasta: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 ounces penne pasta
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 4 slices of bacon
– 8 ounces cream cheese
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Cream Cheese Bacon Chicken Pasta is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the penne pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels. Once cool, crumble the bacon into pieces.
3. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In the same skillet with leftover bacon grease, add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into bite-sized pieces.
5. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the cream cheese and chicken broth, whisking until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
6. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, and crumbled bacon to the skillet. Toss everything together until evenly coated with the sauce.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the pasta mixture and stir until melted and well combined.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
