Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (191°C). Gather your equipment including a large mixing bowl and a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  2. If using frozen broccoli, thaw it and squeeze out any excess water. For fresh broccoli, blanche it by boiling for 1-2 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp, then drain.
  3. In the large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, crispy bacon, broccoli, minced garlic, ranch dressing, shredded mozzarella, and cheddar cheese. Stir until well mixed.
  4. Pour the mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it evenly to create a thick layer.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole mixture.
  6. Place the casserole in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes until cheese is hot and bubbly, and a golden crust forms.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
