Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 6 slice bacon cooked until crispy and crumbled
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 clove garlic minced
  • 0.5 tsp salt or to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Steps
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then crumble. Leave 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.
  2. Add butter to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Once melted, add the chicken pieces, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5–6 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the ranch seasoning mix and cook for another 30 seconds.
  4. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle simmer and let thicken for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Return the cooked chicken and crumbled bacon to the skillet. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated.
  6. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until everything is heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or with a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal. Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
