Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Once done, drain the pasta and set it aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, combine cream cheese, ranch seasoning mix, and chicken broth. Stir continuously until the cream cheese melts and the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take about 3-4 minutes.

Fold in the cooked shredded chicken and crumbled cooked bacon into your creamy sauce. Stir thoroughly and heat for another 2-3 minutes.

Gently add the drained penne pasta into the skillet, stirring well to coat it evenly with the creamy mixture. Cook for about 2 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
