Family Favorite Fiesta Ranch Chicken Casserole
|You will probably get requests to make this creamy Fiesta Ranch Chicken at least once a week.
The rich Alfredo type sauce is already delicious but adding the Hidden Valley Fiesta Ranch Dip mix makes it even tastier. You will get your protein in this casserole from both chicken and beans. You can add some chopped tomatoes for your veggie or serve your favorite vegetable on the side.
Our family loves this dish and I have a feeling yours will too!
