Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded, diced, or pulled
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your baking dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of butter.
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cool, crumble into bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the shredded or diced cooked chicken evenly in the greased baking dish.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top.
- Cover the entire casserole with shredded cheese, distributing it evenly for that golden, gooey top layer.
- Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Optional: Top with chopped green onions for a pop of color and additional flavor.
Notes
[‘Rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe.’, ‘Use freshly grated cheese for better melting.’, ‘Keep an eye on the casserole during the last 5 minutes of baking to avoid overcooking.’, ‘Feel free to substitute ingredients like turkey bacon or coconut cream for dietary preferences.’]
