Stove Top Chicken Ricotta Pasta is full of chicken, bacon, mushrooms and more. Bonus? It’s ready in less than 30 minutes!
If there’s one food Big Daddy doesn’t like, it’s mushrooms.
I kind of like adding mushrooms to recipes just to see him whence.
I’m a little naughty sometimes.
Stove Top Chicken Ricotta Pasta
- Stove Top Chicken Ricotta Pasta is a great way to use leftover or rotisserie chicken.
- If you don’t like mushrooms, omit them.
- If you don’t have chicken stock or broth, add a chicken bouillon cube and 1/2 cup water from the pasta you boiled.
- You could also omit the chicken and bacon and have a delish meatless entrée or side.

What is half and half please? There is no hint as to what it is but it’s probably some kind of liquid I guess. Milk and water? Help!
Paula says
It’s half heavy whipping cream and half milk. You can sub with whole milk or heavy whipping cream.

Delicious with a good splash of white wine. Kinda wish there were more veggies in but i wasn’t sure what would work.

Thanks for the yummy dinner idea! Will definitely be a go-to for our fam! this was yummy and had most items on hand from other recipes:)
Vicki says
I had to google what half and half is. We don’t have that in Australia. Maybe it could be worth putting it as milk and cream in your recipe?
Marzi says

Um…nowhere does the recipe say when to add the spices or the Parmesan. I assumed the Parmesan was for sprinkling on at the end, but thought half a cup is a lot for that. I think if added with the riccatta and cream it also would have helped to thicken up the sauce as it seemed too runny. Also, I wouldn’t have ended up adding any spices except I had gotten them ready from the list of ingredients. I added them at the end, but think if it simmered with the spices it might have been more flavorful. Overall I liked it, but my hubby was not impressed.
Paula says
I apologize for that omission. I have corrected the recipe.
