Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta of your choice
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 4 oz smoked beef, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp powdered ranch dressing
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add cooked chicken and smoked beef. Sauté 3‑4 minutes until heated through.
  3. Reduce heat to low, add heavy cream, and stir to combine.
  4. Stir in Parmesan, powdered ranch dressing, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add cooked pasta to skillet and toss until well coated.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a lighter version
  • replace half of the heavy cream with low‑fat milk. Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. Leftovers reheat best on the stove with a splash of milk.
