Prep 25 min · Cook 10 min

Bring water and half the salt to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta and cook for 10 minutes until tender. When the pasta is nearly finished, add the broccoli rabe to the boiling water to blanch. Drain the pasta and greens.
While the water boils, coat a skillet with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the turkey bacon and cook for 5 minutes until crisp. Remove the bacon and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chicken pieces seasoned with garlic powder, pepper, and the rest of the salt. Cook for 7 minutes, flipping once halfway, until browned and cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Reduce the heat to low. Return the bacon to the skillet and add the cooked pasta and broccoli rabe. Add the ranch dressing, Greek yogurt, and Parmesan. Stir constantly for 2 minutes until the sauce is creamy and coats the pasta evenly.
