Cheesy Ranch Chicken Bowties in Creamy Parmesan Mozzarella Sauce

Ingredients

• 12 ounces bowtie pasta
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
• 1 cup ranch dressing
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the ranch dressing, followed by the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Mix until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the cooked bowtie pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat all the pasta in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
5. Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
