Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare your ingredients: finely dice the red onion, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the scallions.
- In a mixing bowl, combine chicken breast pieces with ranch seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated. Arrange on a baking sheet with diced onion and strips of bacon.
- Roast for 20 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and bacon is crispy.
- While roasting, bring salted water to a boil in a large pot, add chickpea pasta, and cook for 7-8 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ranch dressing, Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, and smoked paprika until smooth.
- Chop the roasted chicken and bacon into bite-sized pieces. In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea pasta, chicken, bacon, tomatoes, red onion, and scallions. Pour the dressing over and mix well.
- Gently toss together until evenly mixed. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
