Step 1
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove to a paper towel; crumble when cool. Leave 2 tablespoons bacon fat in the skillet.
Step 2
Add chicken to the bacon fat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes.
Step 3
Boil pasta in salted water until al dente, about 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 4
Pour cream into the skillet with chicken. Sprinkle ranch mix over the cream and stir until smooth, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Add cooked pasta and crumbled bacon to the skillet. Toss until coated, then stir in parmesan until melted, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Serve hot. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
