Steps(4)

  • 1

    Place bacon in a cold skillet and turn on over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is cooked through and starting to crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon onto paper towels to drain.

  • 2

    Add onion and garlic to the pan (add a little bit of oil to the remaining bacon fat if the pan looks dry). Sauté for 4-5 minutes, until fragrant and translucent.

  • 3

    Add the chicken and sauté for about 5–6 minutes, until cooked through. Add chicken broth, and once simmering, stir in the pickle ranch dressing and cream cheese.

    Cook for about 2–5 minutes more, until cream cheese is melted in and the sauce is slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the bacon, chopped pickles and chives. Serve immediately.
