Description
A creamy, smoky, and cheesy comfort meal inspired by the original frozen favorite — this homemade Stouffer’s Chicken Bacon Ranch Bowl delivers ranch flavor, crispy bacon, and tender chicken in every bite.
Ingredients
2 boneless chicken breasts
4 slices of bacon
1 cup cooked pasta or diced potatoes
½ cup ranch dressing
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon butter
Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
Instructions
1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then sear until golden brown and cooked through.
2. Crisp the bacon in the same skillet, then chop it into small pieces.
3. Melt butter in the skillet, add ranch dressing, and stir in shredded cheddar until smooth.
4. Layer pasta or potatoes in a bowl, top with chicken and bacon, and pour the sauce over.
5. Garnish with more cheese or herbs before serving.
Notes
• You can replace pasta with mashed potatoes or rice for a heartier version.
• Add a sprinkle of smoked paprika for extra flavor depth.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently to keep sauce creamy.
