Cooking Steps
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- While the oven heats, finely dice the red onion, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the scallions.
- Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and coat them with ranch seasoning. Spread on the baking sheet with bacon and onion.
- Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F and bacon is crispy.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta for about 7-8 minutes. Drain and cool.
