    Chicken Bake with Ranch and Chicken from 5DollarDinners.com

    I think I could eat this for every meal of the day. Really, I think I could.

    Because…bacon. And Ranch. On chicken. And CHEESE.

    Yeah, dinnertime bliss is about to hit your dinner table…just as soon as you make this for your people.

    If you don’t want to do Ranch dressing, then you could use Ranch dressing mix packet – or 2 Tbsp of homemade Ranch dressing. You’ll miss out on a little of the creaminess…but you’ll get plenty of cheesy goodness with the shredded cheese topping!

    We LOVED this and I hope you do too…
