Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for one minute.
Temper the half and half by heating it in the microwave for 40 seconds. Gradually whisk it into the skillet.
Slowly whisk in the shredded cheddar cheese and dry ranch dressing seasoning mix, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and mix in the cooked pasta.
Turn the heat to low. The sauce will continue to thicken upon standing.
Crumble the cooked bacon into smaller pieces if desired and sprinkle it over the pasta before serving.
So yummy!
