1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and fully cooked through. Remove and set aside.

2. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring to combine. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Sprinkle in the Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix and stir again until the sauce thickens slightly.

3. While the sauce is coming together, cook your pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

4. Add the cooked chicken and pasta to the skillet. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and let everything simmer for a couple of minutes until heated through and creamy.

5. Serve warm, garnished with extra cheese or chopped parsley if desired.
