Cook the Pasta: Begin by boiling a pot of salted water and prepare the pasta according to package instructions. Once al dente, drain and set aside.
Sizzle the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Season the diced chicken with salt and pepper, then add it to the skillet. Cook until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes.
Make It Creamy: Once the chicken is done, stir in the BBQ sauce, chicken broth, and ranch dressing. Bring this mix to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes.
Toss the Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to your creamy BBQ chicken mixture. Toss everything together until the pasta is fully coated in the luscious sauce.
Cheese, Please!: Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top, and give it a good stir until the cheese is melted and everything is evenly mixed.
Garnish & Serve: Plate the pasta and top it with crumbled bacon and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Enjoy!
