Dip Ingredients

  • 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (1-oz) package ranch dressing mix
  • 1 cup chopped cooked bacon
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 (16-oz) container sour cream
  • 2 cups chopped cooked chicken

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400ºF and lightly spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine softened cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, chopped cooked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped cooked chicken until evenly mixed.
  3. Transfer and bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and the cheese has melted completely.

Notes

  • Use fully cooked chicken, such as rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken, for convenience and flavor.
  • This dip can be served with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables like celery and carrot sticks.
  • To make ahead, prepare the dip mixture and refrigerate, then bake before serving.
  • For a spicier kick, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture.
  • Make sure to use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream for the richest texture and flavor.
