Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 0.5 cups sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the chicken breasts, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked. Shred the chicken using two forks and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions to the bowl. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the crushed potato chips or crackers with melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.

Step 8

Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional green onions, if desired.
