Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Cooked Chicken Breast, diced
  • 6 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp Sour Cream
  • 1 tbsp Ranch Seasoning Mix
  • 1 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
  • 1/3 cup Celery, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Chives, finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let it cool completely before crumbling into small pieces.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch seasoning mix, and fresh lemon juice until completely smooth.
  • Add the diced cooked chicken breast and toss until every piece is coated in the creamy ranch dressing.
  • Fold in the crumbled bacon, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and diced celery. Stir gently until everything is evenly distributed.
  • Season with black pepper and stir in the chopped fresh chives.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors come together. Serve on toasted bread, stuffed into wraps, or scooped onto a plate with crackers.
