How to make Keto Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole

You new favorite keto casserole has a few very simple steps!

Steps 1-5 First step is to preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.  Then in a medium casserole dish add the chicken, bacon, garlic, cauliflower florets, ranch dressing, and half of the shredded cheese.  Stir until combined well.

Step 6 Once all the ingredients are well combined, you will then top the dish with the rest of the cheese. Finally, bake the chicken bacon ranch recipe for about 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted on top. 

If you have some leftover crispy bacon, feel free to top this bacon chicken ranch casserole with it. You can’t go wrong with more bacon! Green onions or chives work good as toppings too!

How to prepare the chicken?

One of the quickest ways to prepare the chicken for this recipe would be to buy a precooked rotisserie chicken from the store. With a store bought rotisserie chicken, you can shred the chicken and add it right in. 

If you wanted to cook the chicken yourself before adding it to the recipe here are some different ways you can prepare the chicken:

• Bake the chicken in an oven
• Cook the chicken in a slow cooker
• Cook your chicken in an instant pot

• Don’t like Colby Jack cheese? Try switching it with a different cheese like, cheddar cheese, Mexican blend cheese, parmesan cheese or mozzarella cheese.  Pick your favorite cheese and try it out with this recipe!
• Use leftover chicken or any precooked meat from the fridge as a time saver.
• Want to use a different vegetable with this dish?  Try switching out the cauliflower with broccoli florets! 
• Try using precooked bacon or bacon crumbles as a time saver. 
• You can sub chicken thighs for boneless chicken breasts
• If you want to make it creamier, try adding cream cheese, heavy cream or sour cream
