👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Add cream cheese and ranch dressing mix; whisk until smooth.

Slowly whisk in milk.

Stir in Monterey Jack cheese; cook until cheese has melted and sauce has thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.

Crumble 6 slices bacon and stir into sauce.

Combine cooked pasta and shredded chicken in a large bowl.

Pour sauce on top and mix until well combined.
