Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

6 slices of crispy bacon, chopped

1 cup ranch dressing

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 cups cooked pasta (such as rotini or penne)

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

      Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, chopped bacon, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well coated.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked pasta and frozen mixed vegetables to the chicken and bacon mixture. Stir in half of the cheddar cheese and half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix until well combined.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

            Add Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top. If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs for a crunchier topping.

              Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
