Scale
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 1/2 cups crushed Ritz crackers
1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
Pour the chicken mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
