How to Make the Best Chicken Bacon Ranch Dip Recipe
It's a rare occasion that I ever leave my local Costco without bringing home at least one, and sometimes two, of their delicious chickens. They're huge, and because of that they go a long way to feed my family a variety of meals. Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Bread makes a tasty appetizer or main dish and I like to use crescent rolls to make Chicken Bacon Ranch Crescent bombs which are always a hit with the kiddos when their friends are over.
- Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Chicken Bacon Ranch Dip: Chopped rotisserie chicken, cooked bacon, shredded monterey jack cheese, chive and onion cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, dry Ranch salad dressing mix, one small can diced green chiles, fresh chives, few dashes of hot sauce plus pita chips or crostini for serving.

- How do you make Chicken Bacon Ranch Dip? It's super simple to make. In a medium size bowl, whip together the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Ranch salad dressing mix and hot sauce until smooth. By hand mix in the chopped chicken, bacon, cheese and chives. Spread into an oven safe skillet then top with the reserved cheese. Bake until golden and bubbly then garnish with bacon and fresh chives just before serving.
- I make this dip in a 10 inch cast iron skillet, but any similar size baking dish or oven safe skillet will work.
- All of the ingredients for this dip can be assembled in advance then covered and chilled overnight until baking.
- If made in advance, you should remove it from the fridge and allow it to sit on the counter for 20 minutes to warm to room temperature. Alternately, you can bake from cold but. you'll need to increase the baking time about 10-15 minutes and test it to be certain it's fully heated through.
- You can add a kick to this dip by adding chopped pickled jalapenos and use pepper jack cheese in place of the monterey jack cheese.
- Store baked Chicken Bacon Ranch Dip in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in single servings in the microwave.
