- Add in ½ yellow onion, and continue to saute until the chicken is cooked through and the onion is translucent. Add in 3 cloves garlic, and saute another minute.
- Pour in the 2 cups chicken broth, 1 cup sour cream, 4 ounces cream cheese, 1 packet dry ranch dressing, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 2 teaspoons dried parsley, and chopped cooked bacon. Stir to incorporate everything well. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil then reduce heat to low.
