Ingredients
➤ Casserole
5 cups broccoli florets (lightly blanched if fresh)
8 slices cooked bacon, chopped into ½-inch pieces
4 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced into ½-inch pieces
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup ranch dressing (e.g., Hidden Valley Original Ranch)
➤ Topping
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C).
Prep vegetables: If using frozen broccoli, thaw and drain. If using fresh, boil for 1–2 minutes until bright green, then drain.
In a large bowl (or directly in the casserole dish), combine cooked chicken, chopped bacon, broccoli, garlic, ranch dressing, and ½ cup each of mozzarella and cheddar. Stir well.
Transfer mixture to a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) casserole dish.
Sprinkle remaining ½ cup mozzarella and ½ cup cheddar evenly over the top.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Add ranch seasoning mix for an extra flavor boost.
Great for meal prep—store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños.
Swap broccoli for cauliflower for a variation.
