Boil your rotini according to the package directions until al dente. Once the tender pasta is ready, drain and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking and keep it from sticking.
Slice the thick cut bacon into small chunks and cook over medium heat until it’s golden and crispy bacon. Drain it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease.
Drizzle chicken breasts with olive oil and coat with poultry seasoning. Grill over medium-high heat flipping the chicken breast every 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken once the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let the chicken rest briefly, then slice against the grain and dice into bite-size pieces for tender chicken with maximum flavor.
In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, mayo, chicken broth, and a ranch seasoning packet. Mix all of the ingredients together until fully combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, juicy chicken, crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, green onions, and 1 cup of the ranch dressing. Toss everything together until well-coated.
Refrigerate the pasta salad in an airtight container until ready to serve. For presentation, top with additional chicken, bacon, cheese, green onions, and a final drizzle of ranch dressing. Serve cold and enjoy!
