Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced

  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

  • ½ cup honey BBQ sauce

  • ½ cup ranch dressing

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ¼ cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Boil penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced chicken, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Add Bacon & Sauce: Stir in crumbled bacon, honey BBQ sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  4. Combine Ingredients: Add cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, and corn to the skillet. Toss everything together until well coated.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, use reduced-fat ranch dressing and cheddar cheese.

  • You can substitute the chicken with turkey or even vegetarian options like tofu.

  • To make it spicier, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.

  • If you don’t have penne pasta, feel free to use any pasta shape you prefer.
