Instructions:

1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside [1].
2. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet [2].
3. In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, and ranch dressing. Stir until the sauce is smooth and well combined. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
5. Add the cooked fettuccine pasta, cooked chicken, and crispy bacon to the skillet with the sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta and chicken are evenly coated with the sauce.
6. Serve the chicken bacon ranch fettuccine Alfredo hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

Enjoy your delicious homemade meal!
