Main Ingredients for Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole

  • 2lb Chicken breast (cooked, cubed or shredded)
  • 8 slices Bacon (cooked, chopped)
  • 3 cloves Garlic(minced)
  • 3/4 cup Ranch dressing
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese(shredded, divided)
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese(shredded, divided)

Version 1 with Spinach

  • 1 lb Frozen spinach (thawed, squeezed to drain well)

Version 2 with Broccoli

  • 4 cup Broccoli (cut into florets)

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (191 degrees C).
  2. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze to drain first. If using broccoli, place it into a pot of water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until bright green.
  3. Combine the chicken, bacon, drained spinach or broccoli, garlic, ranch dressing, and half of the shredded cheeses in a large bowl. Stir until well incorporated. Transfer to a 9x13 in (23x33 cm) glass or stoneware casserole dish. (If you like extra ranch flavor, add 1-3 teaspoons of ranch seasoning mix, in addition to the dressing.)
  4. Top with remaining shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
  5. Bake for about 15 minutes, until hot and bubbly
