We were looking for new recipes to try and found this Chicken Cheese Bake. I loved the recipe originally created by A Family Feast, but I really wanted to add some other ingredients and change it up. I think I have made chicken every way possible. This is a great dinner recipe, but my husband ate the leftovers like a dip. He heated it up and dipped tortilla chips in it. Now we have a dinner and a dip!
Don't get overwhelmed by all the ingredients. I was guilty of skipping over recipes because I thought they would be too complicated! This is not complicated, and they made the instructions very straight forward. I added a changed and added a couple things, but I think you will love it! Looking forward to seeing what you think about this Chicken Cheese Bake Recipe.
First, I cook the bacon. I am such a oven bacon lover! Make sure you keep your bacon grease because you will need it later! In a medium sauce pan, combine cream cheese, parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, heavy cream, hot sauce, mustard, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Make sure you continue to stir until it is creamy. If you don't continually stir it will burn and stick. Follow the rest of the directions and you will have a dinner everyone will love!
