Penne with Crack Chicken

Ingredients:

1. 450g (1 pound) of penne pasta
2. Two teaspoons of olive oil
3. Two boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped
4. Six cooked and crumbled chicken slices
5. 225g (8 oz) softened cream cheese
6. Two teaspoons of homemade ranch seasoning or one package of ranch seasoning mix
7. One cup of cheddar cheese, shredded
8. Half a cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
9. Half a cup of chicken broth
10. To taste, add salt and pepper.
11. Green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions:

Prepare the pasta:

• Bring a big pot of water that has been salted to a boil. Cook the penne pasta as directed on the package until it is al dente. After draining, set away.

Prepare the chicken:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper after adding the diced chicken. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. After taking the chicken out of the skillet, place it aside.

Get the creamy sauce ready by:

• Add the softened cream cheese to the same skillet and lower the heat to medium-low. Stir from time to time until it starts to melt.
• Add the chicken broth and ranch seasoning blend. Mix until creamy and smooth.
• Add the mozzarella and cheddar cheese shreds. Keep swirling until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy and the cheeses melt.

Mix:

• Add the chicken crumbles and cooked chicken back to the skillet. Mix everything together. To get the right consistency, you can add a bit extra chicken broth if the sauce is too thick.

Put the pasta in there:

• Coat the cooked penne pasta in the creamy sauce by tossing it in the skillet. Season to taste with salt and pepper if necessary.

Serve:

• If preferred, top the hot Crack Chicken Penne with finely sliced green onions.

Advice:

• For a speedier option, you can use prepared shredded rotisserie chicken in its place.
• Add a pinch of onion powder or garlic powder to the sauce for an added flavor boost.
• To add some color and nutrients, you can also add some vegetables, such as broccoli or spinach.
