Step 1
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate, chop, and set aside.
Step 2
Boil penne in salted water until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup pasta water.
Step 3
In the same skillet, whisk together sour cream, ranch seasoning, and 0.5 cup pasta water over medium heat until smooth, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Stir in shredded chicken, peas, cooked pasta, and bacon. Toss until coated, adding more pasta water if the sauce is too thick, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Remove from heat. Fold in parmesan cheese and taste for salt and pepper. Serve hot.
