Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pasta (penne or rotini)
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup bacon bits (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, dry ranch seasoning mix, and milk until smooth.
  4. Stir in the cooked chicken and 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese until everything is coated.
  5. Fold in the drained pasta gently.
  6. Spread the pasta mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, the mozzarella cheese, and the bacon bits, if using.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken saves you prep time.
  • For extra flavor, use smoked paprika in the sauce mixture.
  • If the sauce seems too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
