INGREDIENTS IN KETO CHICKEN BACON RANCH CASSEROLE

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

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. You can buy the packets of ranch dressing mix, or you can head to your local warehouse store and buy a big jug of it like I did.

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. If it's not crispy, it will get soggy in the casserole.

Cheddar Jack Cheese - I love how this type of cheese melts into the veggies and chicken. You can use other types as well. Cheddar or even a pizza or Mexican blend will work.

Red Pepper Flakes - add this at the end for spice and as a garnish. You can leave it out if you're serving kids, just add it to the grown up's plates.

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

RECIPE TIPS AND VARIATIONS

Make the bacon ahead of time. You can use air fryer bacon in this keto chicken casserole. Bacon is super fast to cook and less messy this way.

Add Other Veggies. Any other cooked veggies that you enjoy can be added to this casserole in place of some of the cauliflower. Try mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, or any other keto friendly vegetables. Just be sure that the vegetables are cooked when you add them in.

Use Good Butter. One of the best parts about the Keto way of eating is the delicious grass fed butter! Honestly though, this butter is tastier and healthier than the traditionally processed stuff.

Cook extra chicken. Whip up some Keto Chicken Salad at the same time you're preparing this. You can prep two meals at one time!

Use a Different Protein. Feel like making this with chopped steak? go right ahead. Leftover turkey, sausage, or pork would be delicious too.

MAKE AHEAD INSTRUCTIONS FOR KETO CHICKEN BACON RANCH CASSEROLE

You can make this casserole up to 24 hours before you're ready to bake and serve it.

Make the recipe as directed, but stop before baking and wrap the casserole with plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator until ready to cook.

At this point, your casserole is ready to be gifted, in case you have a friend or family member in need of a great meal.

Otherwise, remove from the fridge and bake for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.

HOW LONG IS CHICKEN BACON RANCH CASSEROLE GOOD?

You can store this in the fridge for up to 4 days after it's been cooked. Leftovers of this keto casserole are delicious.

CAN KETO CHICKEN BACON RANCH CASSEROLE BE FROZEN?

Yes, this is a fantastic freezer meal. You can make 2 or 3 of these in an afternoon and store in the freezer until ready to bake. Make the recipe as directed, but stop before baking. Wrap well and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

I suggest allowing the frozen casserole to thaw overnight in the fridge before baking.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH KETO CHICKEN BACON RANCH CASSEROLE

Casseroles are amazing because you really can serve them alone. They have enough variety and volume to be a full meal.

That said, side dishes are always welcome. Add a healthy green salad, or enjoy a side of Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts.

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.

Compared to traditional carb heavy casseroles, this recipe is very low carb and just as filling and delicious.

CAN I USE LOW FAT DAIRY?

While you can, I don't recommend it. For one, low fat dairy isn't recommended on a keto diet. It also just doesn't taste as good.

CAN I USE CHICKEN THIGHS?

You definitely can use chicken thighs in this keto casserole. The dark meat has more fat is a great option for most keto recipes. I like the texture of white meat chicken better, so I'm using it here.
