Notes
You can use any medium sized pasta noodle.
You can use a rotisserie chicken to save time on cooking and shredding chicken before beginning the recipe.
Be sure to stir your chicken mixture well to let the cream cheese fully melt before pouring it into your baking pan. This will help make sure all the ingredients are mixed and evenly distributed.
Leftovers can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
Storage: Store chicken bacon ranch pasta bake tightly wrapped in aluminum foil in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
