Bacon Ranch Chicken Pasta Salad // Yellow Bliss Road

 

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups small dry pasta cooked to al dente
  • 2 cups diced or shredded chicken
  • 1 cup frozen peas cooked
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 6 slices bacon cooked and diced
  • 1/2 cup bottled ranch dressing
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pasta to al dente and allow to cool. Add chicken, bacon, peas and tomatoes and toss to combine.
  • Combine Ranch dressing, sour cream and mayonnaise into a small bowl. Add salt and pepper and stir until combined.
  • Pour dressing mixture over pasta mixture and gently stir to coat.
  • Top with bacon crumbles for garnish, if desired.

Notes

* There is no right or wrong when it comes to the chicken. Use crispy chicken strips, boiled chicken, leftover rotisserie chicken or whatever you happen to have on hand.* Cheese makes a great addition to this pasta salad – we like cheddar or blue cheese.
