  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • Cooked and shredded chicken
  • Cream cheese, softened
  • Ranch dressing
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Cooked bacon, crumbled
  • Green onions, chopped
  • Optional: Pasta or rice

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, and ranch dressing; mix well until smooth.
  2. Stir in most of the cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions until well distributed.
  3. If using pasta or rice, spread it in the bottom of a greased baking dish and pour the chicken mixture over it. Otherwise, simply spread the chicken mixture in the dish.
  4. Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top and bake in a preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use a rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps.

  • Add crumbled crackers on top for extra crunch.
  • Adjust ranch dressing quantity to suit taste preferences.
