Ingredients
Main Ingredients for Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole
4 cups Boneless skinless chicken breasts (cooked, cubed or shredded)
8 slices Bacon (cooked, chopped)
3 cloves Garlic (minced)
1 cup Ranch dressing
1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded, divided)
1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded, divided)
Version 1 with Broccoli
5 cups Broccoli (cut into florets)
Version 2 with Spinach
1 lb Frozen spinach (thawed, squeezed to drain well)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (191 degrees C).
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.
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 9×13 in (23×33 cm) glass or stoneware casserole dish. (Alternatively, you can mix everything directly in the casserole dish.)
Optional tip: If you like extra ranch flavor, add 1-3 teaspoons of ranch seasoning mix, in addition to the dressing.
Top with remaining shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
Bake for about 15 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
