Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well blended.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, mozzarella, and crumbled bacon.
- Transfer the mixture to a skillet and warm over low heat until creamy, hot, and fully melted.
- Lightly toast the brioche buns for added flavor and texture.
- Spoon the hot, cheesy, bacon-loaded chicken mixture generously onto each bun.
- Add your choice of toppings and serve immediately.
Variations
- Mix in a tablespoon or two of buffalo sauce for a spicy ranch twist.
- Add chopped green onions or fresh herbs for brightness.
- Use pepper jack cheese instead of mozzarella for extra heat.
- Swap chicken for turkey or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Make it a wrap by rolling the filling into large flour tortillas.
Tips
- Let the cream cheese fully soften—this ensures the mixture blends smoothly.
- Warm the filling gently; overheating can cause the sauce to separate.
- Toasting the buns adds structure and prevents sogginess.
- Add toppings right before serving to keep them crisp and fresh.
- Leftover filling reheats beautifully—use it for sandwiches, quesadillas, or stuffed baked potatoes.
