In a small bowl, combine shredded chicken with dry ranch seasoning and set aside.
In a large Dutch oven or deep skillet, add chicken broth, penne pasta, and the seasoned chicken. Stir to combine.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes until pasta is tender.
Add cream cheese and stir until mostly melted into the pasta.
Stir in bacon and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm
