Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta

So I have a new love for a website....it is complete with so many meal ideas that I am just going nuts enjoying all the new recipes!!  When I saw this one I knew I needed to try it.  Sooooo, we had it for dinner the other day :)  I switched up the recipe I found and here's how I made it.  Just so you know, it was a HUGE hit! :)

What I used:

1 lb. Pasta (You can use many different kinds if you so choose.)
1 cup Chicken Breasts, cooked and cubed
1 cup bacon, cooked and cut up
1 1/2 cups Milk
8 oz. Cream Cheese (softened)
2 Tbsp. Garlic Powder
2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Salt
Pepper
Dash of Seasoned salt
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup Butter, melted

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.  Add the pasta; cook until al dente.  Drain and return to the pot. While Pasta is cooking go ahead and cook your chicken and bacon.  Add in the chicken and bacon to your pasta and mix well.

Preheat your broiler. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream cheese and garlic powder over low-medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until it becomes a smooth texture (about 5 minutes). Stir into the pasta mixture. Add in the Mozzarella cheese and seasoned salt along with salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer pasta to a 9x13 baking dish and top with Italian bread crumbs. Pour melted butter over crumbs and broil until browned, around 5 minutes or so.
