Step 1

Heat a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes; drain excess fat, reserving 1 tablespoon. Stir in chicken and cook until golden, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Add garlic and onion, and cook, stirring often, until onions have become translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, tomatoes, milk, red pepper flakes, pasta, salt, and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 13-16 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in barbecue sauce and cheese until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Serve immediately.

Chef’s notes

This is another super easy one pot meal where the pasta gets cooked right in the pot! If you want to keep it vegetarian, you can certainly omit the chicken.
