Ingredients:

Serving

12 oz uncooked penne pasta
13 bacon strips
1-1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tbsp butter
6 green onions, chopped
3 tbsp king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
4 cups 2% milk
3 cups (12 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
1-1/2 cups shredded swiss cheese
1-1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed
3/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme
topping:
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tbsp butter, melted

Directions:

Cook penne according to package directions.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon in batches over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 4 teaspoons drippings. Crumble bacon and set aside.
Saute chicken in butter and drippings until no longer pink. Add onions; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in flour until blended; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the cheeses, peas, pepper, thyme and bacon.
Drain penne; add to chicken mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs and butter; sprinkle over top. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 10 servings.
