  5. Brittany says:

    I also added a package of dry ranch mix. It made a type of Bacon Ranch Chicken. Could possibly get away with two packages. So Yummy!

  6. Cyd says:

    The cream cheese helps to thicken it up at the end of cooking time. Feel free to add more bacon if desired.

  7. Leann says:

    This was amazing!! My husband said it ranks as one of his top five favorite dishes! Thanks for the great recipe!

  8. Cheryl says:

    My family love this! I used 1 lb of bacon and 1 cup chicken broth. And it turned out perfect. From all the comments I ajusted the recipe myself. I make this once every two weeks.

  9. Andrea says:

    The flavor was good but mine was still extremely runny, like water. The cream cheese didn't seem to thicken it at all. I used Neufchâtel- does that make a difference? Otherwise, do you have any suggestions for thickening the sauce? I like this by the way I've but would prefer a thicker sauce if I can keep the same flavor. Maybe reduce the amount of chicken broth?

  10. Cyd says:

    Hi Andrea. We have only made this recipe using cream cheese. Not sure if Neufchatel would make that much of a difference. You could decrease the amount of liquid and see if that helps thicken it up. You could always add in a little cornstarch and that would not effect the taste.
