Ingredients You’ll Need
- 4 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped or shredded
- 1 cup mayonnaise (adjust for creaminess)

- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2–3 green onions, sliced thin
- Salt and black pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken
You can use rotisserie chicken, boiled chicken breasts, or even leftover grilled chicken. Chop or shred it into bite-sized pieces.
2. Mix the Dressing
In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise and ranch seasoning until smooth and well blended.
3. Add the Good Stuff
Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions. Mix well so every bite has that cheesy, smoky flavor.
4. Combine with Chicken
Add the chicken to the bowl and toss until everything is evenly coated in the creamy ranch mixture.
5. Chill and Serve
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour. This lets the flavors meld together beautifully. Serve chilled with crackers, on a croissant, in lettuce wraps, or straight from the bowl with a fork.
