INGREDIENTS IN KETO CHICKEN BACON RANCH CASSEROLE

Chicken Breast Meat - Cook your own, or use a shortcut and use shredded or cubed rotisserie chicken.

Grass-Fed Butter - Used here to cook the chicken. If you're using pre-cooked chicken, just melt the butter and mix it in.

Heavy Cream - Cream adds moisture and richness to the casserole.

Ranch Seasoning - It wouldn't be chicken bacon ranch without the ranch.

Minced Garlic - mince fresh or use jarred garlic.

Salt - Well seasoned meals are always the best ones.

Pepper - for a subtle hint of spice.

Cauliflower - Steamed cauliflower adds bulk to the casserole, where a non Keto recipe might use pasta or rice.

Bacon - Cook your bacon crispy and crumble or chop before adding.

Cheddar Jack Cheese - I love how this type of cheese melts into the veggies and chicken. You can use other types as well.

Red Pepper Flakes - add this at the end for spice and as a garnish.

Fresh Parsley - This is optional, but adds a bright bit of color and freshness.

HOW MANY CARBS ARE IN CAULIFLOWER?

Cauliflower is used in Keto Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole, and in many other Keto dishes as a low carb alternative to rice, pasta, or potatoes.

One cup of chopped cauliflower has 27 calories, 2 grams of protein, 5 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams of fiber, making it an excellent low carb choice for this type of recipe.

You could try making this recipe with other vegetables as well. If you do, I'd love to hear about it. Try Broccoli, or even Kale.

IS CHICKEN BACON RANCH CASSEROLE LOW CARB?

In a 1 cup serving of Keto Bacon Ranch Casserole there are 6 grams of carbs and 1 gram of fiber, so 5 grams net carbs per serving.
