Ranch Chicken Alfredo Recipes

CHICKEN ALFREDO

Steps:

• Put the olive oil, Parmesan, pine nuts, oregano, garlic, basil, mint, parsley and some salt and pepper in a blender and puree. Put the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag, pour in the marinade and seal. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to several hours, the longer the better.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with oil. Remove the breasts from the marinade and grill until cooked through with nice char marks, about 4 minutes a side. Slice the chicken and serve over Fettuccine Alfredo. Garnish with more basil.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan or skillet over low heat, add the cream and butter and cook until the butter melts and the mixture is warm. Season with salt and pepper.
• Put half of the Parmesan into a large serving bowl. Pour the warm butter/cream mixture over the top.
• Drain the pasta (reserving a little of the cooking water) and immediately pour it into the bowl. Toss a couple of times, then sprinkle in the other half of the Parmesan. Toss to combine, thinning with the reserved pasta water if necessary.

CHICKEN BACON RANCH CASSEROLE

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.

BAKED BACON RANCH CHICKEN AND PASTA

• Place broccoli and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high until steamed and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and drain excess liquid; set aside.

• Pour chicken broth into a large pot and bring a boil over medium-high heat. Add shells and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally until pasta is nearly done, about 10 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of cooking broth.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the hot skillet, working in batches if necessary, and cook until browned on all sides, about 7 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.

Turn off the heat, add chicken and any accumulated juices, pasta, broccoli, sour cream, reserved 1/2 cup pasta cooking broth, salt, and pepper.
