Time 2h3m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 (1 ounce) package dry ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)
1 pound bacon
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 (15 ounce) jars Alfredo sauce, divided
⅓ cup milk
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange chicken on the baking sheet.
  • Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Dice chicken and place in a bowl; add ranch mix and stir until coated.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon grease in the skillet. Crumble bacon into small pieces.
  • Heat reserved bacon grease in the skillet; cook and stir bell pepper until slightly tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken, 1 jar Alfredo sauce, milk, and garlic; cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
  • Pour 1/2 the jar of remaining Alfredo sauce into a casserole dish; top with 1/2 of the penne, 1/2 of the chicken mixture, 1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 of the bacon. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients in the same order ending with 1 cup mozzarella cheese and bacon on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling and cheese is lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

CHEESY BROCCOLI BACON CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Cheesy Broccoli Bacon Chicken Casserole image

I created this dish to use the broccoli I had bought for the first time in my life (used to hate the stuff!) and to fit my parents' low carb diet. The fastest way to pre-cook the broccoli, chicken and bacon is by using a combination of the microwave and stovetop. I cooked the bacon and chicken in the microwave--separately--and I steamed the broccoli--but you could also nuke the broccoli and saute the other two).

STOVED CHICKEN (CHICKEN CASSEROLE WITH POTATOES, BACON AND ONION



Stoved Chicken (Chicken Casserole With Potatoes, Bacon and Onion image

A recipe I found for Scotland at All British Foods.com., posting for ZWT6. Sometimes also called 'stovies' this Scottish recipe derives from the French etouffer, to cook in a closed pot, and dates from the strong Scottish/French links of the seventeenth century. It makes a filling family dish which can safely be left to its own devices; a little extra cooking time will not spoil the flavour.

CROCKPOT CHICKEN BACON RANCH TATER TOT CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Crockpot Chicken Bacon Ranch Tater Tot Casserole Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by mikeimmell

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely chopped, approximately 1 cup
2 stalks of celery, finely chopped, approximately 1/2 cup
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
1 - 2 lb package of tater tots, divided
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheese, divided
8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled, divided (I used maple bacon)
1 cup milk
1 package dry ranch dressing mix (I used Hidden Ranch original)
2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables, divided, optional
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh or dried parsley flakes
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a small sauce pan and cook the onion and celery until they are soft and translucent in appearance, approximately 3 minutes. Add the finely chopped garlic and continue cooking approximately 2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic. Set aside. Place 1/2 the tater tots on the bottom of a crock pot, that has been sprayed with Pam and sprinkle with 1/2 of the cooked onions, garlic and celery. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the cheese and 1/3 of the bacon over top. Place chicken pieces and 1 cup of the mixed vegetables on top and season with salt and pepper. Place another layer of 1/2 cup of cheese and 1/3 of the bacon crumbles over top. Place another layer of tater tots, cooked onions, celery and garlic, and the mixed vegetables on top, season again with salt and pepper and cover with the remaining cheese and bacon crumbles. Mix the milk with the dry ranch dressing seasoning mix and pour over top OR pour 1 cup of prepared Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing and 1/4 cup of milk over the top. Sprinkle the fresh or dry parsley flakes over the top. Bake in the crock pot for 1 hour on high and then turned it to low for an additional 3 hours. Please be sure to keep an eye on your crock pot while its cooking as different sized crock pot models cook differently. Yours might be just fine at 4 hours on low. Note: you can omit the milk and the Hidden Valley Ranch dry Mix and Substitute 1 cup of already prepared bottled Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing and 1/4 cup of milk in its place if you don't keep the Dry Hidden Valley Mix on hand in your cabinet. These directions are for a 6 qt slow cooker.
