I love a good super quick delicious dinner.

Chicken is my favorite protein because it is so versatile and can be used in so many dishes.

Another favorite thing of mine is one-pot dishes. Nothing excites me more than being able to make dinner and only have one pan to clean up. Some of the favorites that I have made in the past are my One Pan Cheeseburger Pasta and my Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles.

Both are super easy and quick dishes. Now, I have another quick and easy one-pan dish to add to my recipe book — Chicken Bacon Ranch Carbonara.

Here's what Megan has to say about Chicken Bacon Ranch Carbonara —

I’ll admit, I’d never had carbonara until I made this recipe. I’ve heard Rachael Ray talk about it for years because it’s her husband’s favorite dish, but I didn’t know what all the fuss was about. An egg in pasta?

Pssh, big deal, right? But it is a big deal. The egg coats the noodles and makes for a rich and luscious sauce you aren’t going to get any other way.
Don’t knock it until you try it.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil, divided
6 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
11⁄2 lbs (675 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
2 tbsp (18 g) ranch seasoning
2 cups (480 ml) chicken stock
1 (8.8-oz [246-g]) box Fettucine pasta
2 large egg yolks, beaten
1⁄2 cup (90 g) shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1⁄2 tsp black pepper
Coarsely chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Heat 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until the bacon is brown and crispy about 5 minutes.
Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Do not drain the skillet. When the bacon is cool enough to handle, crumble it.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of oil to the bacon grease in the skillet. Add the chicken and cook until it’s no longer pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle the chicken with the ranch seasoning.
Add the stock and pasta. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 8 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked.
Pour in the egg yolks and stir so they coat the pasta.
To serve, sprinkle the pasta with the crumbled bacon, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and black pepper, tossing to combine. Garnish with parsley, if using.
