Ingredients

Scale

Creamy Base

  • 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (1-oz) package ranch dressing mix
  • 1 (16-oz) container sour cream

Protein & Cheese

  • 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
  • 1 cup chopped cooked bacon
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Lightly spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, sour cream, chopped cooked chicken, cooked bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  3. Bake the Dip: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.

Notes

  • For an extra kick, add diced jalapenos to the mixture before baking.
  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time on cooking and chopping chicken.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
  • This dip can be made ahead and refrigerated; just bake it before serving.
  • Adjust baking time slightly if using a different size or type of baking dish.
