- Add cooked chicken and Alfredo sauce to the pasta.
- Sprinkle both kinds of cheese, bacon, and salt/pepper on the top of the Alfredo sauce and place the dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake until bubbly and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and serve! Enjoy!
Great Time-Saving Tip:
This recipe is perfect with leftover chicken. I love using my chicken from my Instant Pot Whole Chicken. Make the chicken ahead of time and use it all week long. I use it for sandwiches, wraps, or salads for lunch or dinner. I also add it to casseroles or soup for dinner.

Can a rotisserie chicken be used in this recipe? If so when would the ranch dressing be added?
