Keto Bacon Ranch Chicken Casserole Recipe

Keto Bacon Ranch Chicken Casserole Recipe

I just realized I’ve never shared one of our favorite keto casseroles with you guys!  Do you remember, before your low carb or keto days the ever so popular Bacon Ranch Chicken casserole recipe that was made with noodles?  Well, we ketofied that recipe and you wouldn’t miss the old recipe at all!  Gosh, I love when that happens!

Instead of the typical noodles in this recipe, we substituted those noodles with cauliflower.  Now, you can also get a bit creative and substitute it with a few other vegetables too.  You can use zucchini, squash, turnips, radishes or possibly even shirataki noodles!  I should also mention that you can use cauliflower florets or riced cauliflower.  I prefer the riced cauliflower after making it a few times.

This is an excellent recipe to use when you make chicken and have plenty leftover for another meal to feed the whole family.  You can turn leftover chicken into a brand new recipe and the family won’t even know it was leftovers.  You can use shredded chicken or chopped up chicken for this recipe.  Heck, you can even precooked shredded chicken now at the grocery store!

The other part to note in this recipe is the Ranch Seasoning mix.  You can buy those Ranch seasoning packets but lots of them contain hidden sugars.  You can make your own based on the recipe we have noted in this Instant Pot Keto Crack Chicken recipe here.  Of course, on really busy days I might just use those Ranch Seasoning packets in a pinch.  If it’s between that or a full-on cheat, I would rather deal with a few non-complaint keto ingredients that make my life a tad bit easier on those types of days.  It’s all about balance, right?!
