Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lb. Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
  • ½ Cup Chicken Broth
  • ½ tsp. Black Pepper
  • 1 Packet Dry Ranch
  • 8 oz. Cream Cheese (Cubed)
  • 1 ½ Cup Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 Cups Spinach (Chopped)
  • 8 Strips Microwaveable Bacon (Cooked and chopped)
  • 1 lb. Rotini Pasta
  • Scallions (Optional)

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken breasts in an 8-quart slow cooker and pour the chicken broth on top.
  • Season the chicken with the pepper and ranch packet. Place the cubed cream cheese all over top. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked.
  • Remove the chicken and set aside. Mix in the cheddar cheese, heavy cream, spinach, and bacon until well combined. You can either shred the chicken or cube it, then place it back into the slow cooker and cover and cook for another 30 minutes.
  • While that’s cooking, boil the pasta on the stove until the noodles are cooked.
  • Drain and then mix the pasta into the slow cooker and stir well.
  • Top with chopped scallions and cheddar cheese! Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Cheese Upgrade: Use freshly grated cheddar for extra creaminess—it melts better and adds richer flavor!
Bacon Boost: Crisp the bacon in a skillet first for a crunchier texture and smoky depth.
Seasoning Kick: Add a pinch of garlic powder to the ranch seasoning for an extra savory kick.
Pasta Perfection: Toss the cooked pasta in a bit of olive oil before mixing to prevent it from clumping.
