This easy-to-make, crowd-pleasing dip combines chicken, crispy bacon, and the classic flavors of ranch dressing. Perfect for game day, parties, or any gathering, this Chicken Bacon Ranch Dip will be the star of the snack table.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning mix. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to mix until well blended and smooth.
Fold in the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions into the cream cheese mixture. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Spread the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the additional 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the dip.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra sliced green onions if desired.
Serve the dip warm with your favorite dippers like tortilla chips, pita chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.
