Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (191°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  2. If using spinach, thaw it in a colander and squeeze out excess water. For fresh broccoli, briefly boil then drain.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, bacon, drained vegetables, and minced garlic. Add ranch dressing and half of the cheese and mix well.
  4. Consider adding ranch seasoning for extra flavor, then mix again.
  5. Pour the mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading evenly and packing slightly.
  6. Top with the remaining cheese, covering the mixture completely.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
  8. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
