8 slices cooked bacon (chopped into 1/2-inch pieces)
4 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced into 1/2-inch pieces)
3 cloves garlic (finely minced for best flavor)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup shredded cheddar
1 cup ranch dressing (I prefer Hidden Valley Original Ranch)
Topping
1/2 cup shredded cheddar (I like Tillamook Medium Cheddar)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C). If using frozen spinach: Thaw completely and squeeze out excess water. If using fresh broccoli: Boil for 1–2 minutes until bright green, then drain.
In a large bowl, combine chicken, bacon, prepared vegetables, minced garlic, ranch dressing, and the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Mix well. Add optional ranch seasoning if desired. Alternatively, you can mix all the ingredients directly in the casserole dish to save on dishes.
Transfer mixture to a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) casserole dish.
Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the top.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the top is hot and bubbly. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then serve.
