  • 9 x 13-inch (23×33 cm) casserole dish
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Medium pot

 

 

 

Ingredients

For the Casserole

  • 4 medium chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (4 cups total) 
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and chopped 
  • 5 cups broccoli, cut into florets 
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced 
  • 1 cup mozzarella, shredded (divided) 
  • 1 cup cheddar, shredded (divided) 

For the Greek Yogurt Ranch 

  • 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt 
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning 
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped 
  • Water, to thin (used ¼ cup but will depend on the brand and thickness of greek yogurt used) 

Directions

  1. Prep the broccoli: Add the broccoli to a pot of water, bring to a boil, and simmer 1–2 minutes until bright green. Drain well. 
  2. Make the ranch: Whisk the Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, and dill together, adding water a tbsp at a time until it’s pourable but still thick. 
  3. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, bacon, broccoli, garlic, Greek yogurt ranch, and half of the mozzarella and cheddar. Stir until everything’s well coated. Transfer to a 9×13 in (23×33 cm) casserole dish. 
  4. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar over top. 
  5. Bake at 375°F (191°C) for about 15–20 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
