Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 packet (1 oz / 28g) dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 6 strips bacon
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Method
 

  1. Cook the 6 strips of bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side until fully crispy, drain on paper towels, then crumble into chunks once cool.
  2. Whisk together the 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp sour cream, and 1 oz ranch seasoning packet in a large bowl until smooth with no dry streaks.
  3. Fold the 2 cups of shredded chicken and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar into the dressing until evenly coated.
  4. Add the crumbled bacon with 3 to 4 gentle folds, then taste and add salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper as needed.
  5. Serve piled onto a croissant or crackers, topped with extra bacon crumbles and a pinch of shredded cheddar.

Notes

If you're making this ahead, fold the bacon in right before serving rather than mixing it in early, since it softens after a few hours in the fridge. The recipe doubles easily for a group — just use a full rotisserie chicken breast yield, which usually comes to about 4 cups of shredded meat.
