Ingredients
  • 1 pound cooked chicken, chopped into pieces (we used leftover roast)
  • 6 ounces (170g) macaroni pasta
  • 9 ounces (250g) bacon (or pancetta), chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella or pizza cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet or casserole dish, add the olive oil and cook the chopped bacon over medium heat, stirring occasionally until crispy. Add the chicken and cook until nicely browned. (If using raw chicken, cook the bacon halfway and then add the chicken, cook until they both turn golden brown). Remove chicken and bacon to a plate or bowl and set aside.
  3. To the same skillet, add the penne pasta and water. Bring to a boil and let it cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is almost cooked. Drain excess liquid if needed.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and frozen peas. Mix everything together until well combined and bring to a simmer.
  5. Add the cooked chicken and crispy bacon back to the skillet. Stir to incorporate the ingredients. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Optional: transfer the mixture to a casserole dish or leave it in the skillet.
  7. Evenly top with shredded mozzarella and place the skillet or casserole dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbling.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve warm.
