Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 9 slices bacon
  • 5 jalapenos, (divided)
  • 16 oz cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 oz Ranch seasoning packet
  • 6 oz Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese
  • 3 oz Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place chicken breasts in 9x13” baking pan and bake until internal temp reaches 165 degrees. ~40 minutes, depending on thickness.
  • Set chicken aside till cool enough to handle and then shred into large chunks, ~1” thick. Spread chicken evenly across the bottom of the baking pan.
  • While chicken is baking cut bacon into 1” chunks and sauté on medium high heat until almost crispy.
  • Drain bacon fat from pan, reserving 1 tbsp of fat in pan and add 4 chopped jalapeno and continue cooking until jalapeno is softened and bacon is crisp.
  • With the pan on low add cream cheese, mayo and ranch seasoning and cook until mixture combines into a sauce, stirring as needed.
  • Pour sauce over shredded chicken in 9x13” pan (both sauce and chicken should still be warm)
  • Top with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  • Cut the final jalapeno into slices and place evenly on top of the cheese.
  • Place baking pan in oven preheated to 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Finish under the broiler for 5 minutes, or until all cheese is melted and browned slightly. Rotate as needed to prevent burning.
