Bacon Ranch Chicken Alfredo



Serves: 4


4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
1 1/2 cups whole wheat penne noodles (cook according to directions)
2 cups Alfredo sauce
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 Tablespoons ranch dressing mix
5 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a 9 x 9 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. 

Add the shredded chicken and penne pasta to the baking dish. Mix together to evenly distribute the pasta and chicken.  In a medium bowl combine the Alfredo sauce, yogurt and ranch dressing mix.  Stir until combined.  Pour over the chicken and past and spread so that everything is covered.  Sprinkle with cheese and bacon.  

Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted.  Switch oven to broil and broil for about 1 minute or until the cheese starts to brown.  Remove from the oven and serve warm.
