Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 3 cups of chicken breast (finely shredded)
  • 8 ounces of cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup fresh jalapeño (chopped)
  • 5 slices uncured bacon (cooked until crisp and chopped)
  • 1/4 onion (minced)
  • 2/3 cup bacon ranch dressing
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375F. In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and whip up a little.  Then add in the bacon ranch dressing, sour cream, parsley and garlic salt, and mix until well combined.   Set mixture aside.
  • In the bowl with the chicken, add in the shredded cheddar, but reserve 1/2 cup for the topping.   Add in the bacon and jalapeño, but reserve a little of both for the topping and garnish.  Toss by hand, then add in the cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a baking casserole dish, sprayed with non-stick spray and spread evenly.  Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and some of the jalapeño slices over the top.
  • Bake for 20 minutes at 375F, or until the cheese is slightly golden brown.  Bake an additional 5 minutes at 400F.  Allow to cool slightly, then garnish with the remaining bacon before serving with celery or cucumber sticks, pork rinds or homemade cheese crackers.
