Start by boiling some water and cooking the noodles according to package directions. Then brown the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the bacon to paper towels to drain. Reserve the bacon grease in the skillet. Then cook the chicken in the skillet with the bacon grease over medium heat. Work in batches cooking the chicken in a single layer, flipping the pieces over as they brown. Once the chicken is browned on both sides, plate the chicken.

Then add the onions to the skillet, cooking over medium heat until soft and lightly browned on the edges. Now lower the heat and add the garlic, cooking for 1 minute while stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes. Coarsely chop the bacon, reserving about 1/4 cup. Then in a large bowl, stir together the cooked pasta, bacon, chicken, onions, garlic, alfredo sauce, sour cream, ranch seasoning, and 1 cup mozzarella. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon into a greased casserole dish.

Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and reserved bacon. Bake until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through. If desired, top with chopped fresh parsley, chives, or green onion.
