Creamy and Cheesy Crack Chicken Penne with Crispy Bacon and Green Onions

Ingredients:

For the Pasta:

12 oz (340g) penne pasta

1 lb (450g) cooked chicken, shredded

8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled

1/4 cup green onions, sliced

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the cream cheese and chicken broth, stirring until smooth and creamy.

Add the shredded chicken, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet, mixing until everything is well combined and heated through.

Stir in the cooked penne pasta, crumbled bacon, and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix until the pasta is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove from the oven and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
