Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, until browned and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

- Add cheddar cheese and stir until melted and creamy.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top.
- Top with chopped bacon and green onions. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Serve hot, garnished with more green onions if desired.
Notes
- You can use shredded chicken or chicken thighs instead of breasts.
