Ingredients

1 1/2 cups shredded or cubed boneless skinless chicken breast (about 1 1/2 breasts)
8 ounces spaghetti broken in half then cooked according to package directions
6 slice bacon cooked, drained and chopped, divided
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon Ranch seasoning mix
2 1/2 cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided
Fresh chopped flat leap parsley for garnish, if desired

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8"x8" baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and bring the chicken stock to a low boil.
Meanwhile, whisk together flour and Ranch seasoning mix. Whisk in the milk until a smooth, thick mixture forms.
Whisk the flour and milk mixture into the chicken broth over low heat. Whisk constantly while simmering, until mixture is thick and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in half of the cheddar cheese.
Layer in the 8"x8" baking dish: spaghetti, chicken, bacon (reserving 1-2 tablespoons), Ranch cheese sauce. Using a spoon, press the sauce into the layers so it begins to coat the noodles.
Top with remaining cheddar cheese and bacon.
Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. If cheese is not melted, remove foil and continue to bake until cheese is melted and the sauce is nice and bubbly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

This is a great meal for using up leftovers since it uses cooked chicken and cooked pasta.
