- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Divided, melts beautifully for a creamy topping.

Preparation Steps
Preheat the oven to 375°F (191°C).
Prepare vegetables by thawing the frozen spinach and squeezing out excess water. If using fresh broccoli, par-boil for 1-2 minutes until bright green and crisp, then drain.
Mix together in a large bowl: chicken, bacon, prepared vegetables, minced garlic, ranch dressing, and both mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
Combine well, making sure everything is evenly coated, remembering to reserve half of the cheese for the topping.
Transfer the mixture to a 9×13 inch casserole dish and top with the reserved cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the top is hot and bubbly.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freeze portions for up to 2 months, thaw overnight before reheating.
