Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch seasoning, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed together.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden and slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Reheat individual servings in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or the whole casserole at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
This recipe is gluten-free if you use a gluten-free ranch seasoning mix.
Feel free to add vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers for extra nutrition and color.

This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated before baking. Just increase baking time by 5-10 minutes if cold from the fridge.
