Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Casserole Dish
  • Oven

Ingredients

For the Casserole

  • 4 cups Diced or Shredded Cooked Chicken Rotisserie chicken is a convenient option.
  • 8 slices Cooked and Chopped Bacon Turkey bacon can be a leaner alternative.
  • 5 cups Broccoli Florets OR Thawed Frozen Spinach Ensure spinach is well-drained to avoid excess moisture.
  • 3 cloves Minced Garlic Fresh garlic is recommended for the best taste.
  • 1 cup Ranch Dressing Substitute with a mayo and sour cream mix for variety.
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Divided, melts beautifully for a creamy topping.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Divided, adds sharpness and flavor.

For the Topping

  • 1 cup Reserved Cheese Mixture Keeping half for the topping ensures extra gooey goodness.

Instructions

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.

Optional Garnish

  • Garnish with fresh parsley for added color and freshness.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freeze portions for up to 2 months, thaw overnight before reheating.
