Chicken bacon ranch pasta

Shred the cheddar cheese and set it aside at room temperature to allow it to melt smoothly.

Let the bacon sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before frying. Cut the bacon into smaller squares using kitchen scissors.

Heat a large skillet over low heat and add the bacon. Cook slowly, turning it over as it begins to curl, to ensure even cooking. Leave 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in the pan.

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning. Toss the chicken pieces in 3 tablespoons of flour.

Add the chicken to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Once cooked, set the chicken aside.
