Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add diced chicken breasts, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Stir in penne pasta, chicken broth, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing until evenly combined.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes until pasta is al dente.
