Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 1 pkg ranch dressing mix
  • 1 cup chicken shredded
  • 1 cup bacon bits

Instruction

  • Prep: Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Dip mixture: Next, in a medium size bow, begin by mixing the softened cream cheese and the sour cream. Remember though, we want 5 minutes of prep time...If you forgot to take yours out of the fridge, place it in a zip locked bag, squeezing all the air out before zipping it shut. Set the baggie covered cream cheese into a bowl of hot water and let it sit for a minute or so. This will soften it right up for you.
  • After the cream cheese and sour cream are mixed, add in 1 cup of cheese and ranch dressing mix. Mix until well combined and smooth. Next, fold in shredded cooked chicken. You can totally prepare the shredded chicken beforehand in the crockpot or Instant Pot, but to make this extremely easy, you could use a rotisserie chicken.
  • Proceed to spread the mixture out into either an 8x8 pan or a pie plate. Top the dip with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and crumbled cooked bacon. I cooked my bacon up in the air fryer as I was mixing the other ingredients, but you could totally use bacon bits or microwavable bacon from Costco.
  • Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the dip is bubbly. Serve with potato chips, tortilla chips, slices of French bread. seriously, whatever your heart desires and enjoy!
