What ingredients do I need to make this Skinny Bacon Ranch Chicken Bake?

• Chicken breast–Try using thin cut chicken breast. You could also cut large chicken breasts in half (butterfly)or pound them out. Thin chicken breasts will cook more quickly and evenly, and they tend to stay more tender. 
• Reduced fat cream cheese– I like to use Kroger reduced fat cream cheese. Be sure it is softened at room temperature.
• Reduced fat cheddar cheese- I like to use velvetta shreds or fat free cheddar 
• Light Mayo– I like to use Kraft mayo. you could also use non fat plain Greek 
• Ranch powder- dry ranch mix
