Chicken Bacon "Ranch" Deviled Eggs

Quick, easy and addictive

Have some leftover chicken? Try these quick and simple chicken-bacon deviled eggs. I bet you can’t eat just one. I’d suggest these are better than a protein bar with as much nutrition without the fillers.

I made some of these a few months back and now the kids request them daily. The amount they eat scares me (and our plumbing system). If you can find cooked and smoked chicken that’s a great way to amp this up (Trader Joe’s has a good one), but regular chicken will do just fine.

Ingredients:

12 hard-cooked eggs (slice in half and remove the yolks from the whites)

4 tablespoon mayo

3 tablespoon buttermilk

1 tablespoon sour cream

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 cup chopped chicken

1 lemon zested and juiced

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

1 teaspoon freshly chopped chives

salt and pepper to taste

5 slices of bacon roughly chopped

Steps:

1. Combine the egg yolks with the remaining ingredients except the bacon. Mix with a fork or a whisk. If you like your devilled eggs less stiff, add more buttermilk.

2. Scoop a large tablespoon of the filling into each egg white half. Garnish with some chopped bacon, fresh chives and a sprinkle of salt.

SERVE AND ENJOY!
