Mix cream cheese, chicken, and ranch seasoning together until mixed well (I have found that wooden spoons work the best)

Put a small amount of oil on your hands and form the round shape to your cheeseball with your mixture

Roll in bacon (I use Hormel Bacon pieces in the salad section of the grocery store) or crushed Pecan pieces

Cover with foil or plastic wrap and let harden in the refrigerator for 45 min to 1 hour

Enjoy with Wheat Thins or your favorite kind of crackers! (I have friends that eat this with a fork so, crackers are optional) 😄
