# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Switch your oven on to 375°F (191°C) and let it heat up.
02 -
Got frozen spinach? Let it thaw and squeeze out every drop of extra water. Working with broccoli? Dunk florets in boiling water for a minute or two till they turn bright green. Drain well.
03 -
Toss the cooked chicken, bacon, prepped veggies, chopped garlic, ranch dressing, 1/2 cup each mozzarella and cheddar into a big bowl. If you're using the ranch seasoning, throw that in too. Stir until it all looks mixed and blended.
04 -
Dump everything into a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking dish and spread it out to make an even layer.
05 -
Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses all over the top, so every bite gets cheesy.
06 -
Let it bake for about 15 minutes. When the cheese is bubbly and everything's hot, pull it out and serve right away.

Don’t want to dirty an extra bowl? Just stir all your ingredients together right in the casserole pan.
