Chicken bacon ranch casserole with broccoli is a keto-friendly and low carb bake.
What’s not to love about casseroles? They’re great for transforming leftover ingredients, feed a lot of hungry people, and are hard to mess up. Similar to my zucchini lasagna, this casserole has plenty of my favorite things in it: chicken, broccoli, crispy bacon, ranch dressing, and a ton of cheese.
A good oven roasting helps bring all of these flavors together, yielding creamy bites of chicken and tender broccoli, punctuated with occasional bacon bits. The ranch flavor is definitely present, but not overpowering. Pretty much everything about this keto-friendly casserole says delicious comfort food (same goes for these low carb chicken recipes).
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4) cut into <1-inch chunks
- 4 strips bacon
- 12 ounces broccoli florets
- 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
Ranch dressing:
- 4 ounces mayonnaise (1/2 cup)
- 4 ounces sour cream (1/2 cup)
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. Prepare a 9x13 inch casserole baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all ranch dressing ingredients and stir until smooth. Set aside.
- In a wide pan over medium heat, cook bacon slices for 5 to 10 minutes until crispy, turning them occasionally. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving bacon grease on the pan. When cool, crumble into small pieces.
- Add chopped chicken to the pan with bacon grease. Saute for 5 to 10 minutes over medium to medium-high heat until cooked through, flipping and stirring frequently. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- While waiting for the bacon and chicken to cook, microwave the broccoli for 3-4 minutes or until tender.
- Directly in the baking dish: add chicken, broccoli, ranch dressing, about 2/3 of each cheese, and about 2/3 of the bacon. Stir everything until well-mixed. Top with remaining cheese and bacon.
- Bake at 375 F until heated through and bubbling, about 25 minutes.
