5 Ingredients only low carb dinner
For our bacon and chicken ranch casserole, you only need 5 ingredients.
- Chicken – you can use our recipe, where you can prepare the chicken in the instant pot for 10 minutes. You can also use rotisserie chicken or any boneless skinless chicken pieces you have as a leftover from previous cooking. Even shredded chicken will work here.
- Bacon – any type of bacon will do. Be it cooked bacon, raw, smoked, American bacon, bacon crumbles, collar bacon, or back bacon. All works great.
- Broccoli – you can pick either florets only or chop the whole broccoli with stems. You can use pre-cooked broccoli, raw or blanched pieces. Frozen broccoli florets can be also used.
- Ranch sauce – the best would be our homemade ranch sauce mix recipe as it is entirely keto, but if you have your own or store-bought, which is with minimum carbs, you can pick that as well.
- Grated cheese – any hard cheese will do. Make sure you grate yourself as store-bought shredded cheese mixture containing additional carbs from starches, and we do not need that at all.
That’s it. 5 ingredients, some baking time, and you are done and ready for low carb dinners for a few days to come.
Replacements and swaps
- Chicken – can be swapped for any meat like turkey, beef, or even fish will work.
- Broccoli – can be replaced for any veggies such as spinach, cauliflower, green beans, brussels sprouts, asparagus, bell peppers, mushrooms, leek, kale, pumpkin.
- Bacon – alternate with prosciutto or salami.
- Hard cheese – can be swapped for mozzarella, shredded cheddar cheese or parmesan.
- Ranch – can be exchanged for any dressing you like, but it will not be ranch casserole anymore. You can also mix cream cheese or sour cream with packet of ranch seasoning mix or use hidden valley ranch packet instead.
Easy chicken bacon ranch ideas
Having our recipe as a base, you can make other special chicken and bacon ranch recipes such as:
- Pasta – where you add one of our keto pasta.
- Pizza – instead of casserole, you spread all of the ingredients on a Fathead pizza dough.
- Sliders – using either yogurt buns or fiber bread rolls.
- Wraps – filling up flaxseed wraps or fiber tortillas.
- Sandwich – using our farmers bread or chaffles as a base.
- Tacos – using our taco shells.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING SUPER EASY KETO CHICKEN BACON RANCH CASSEROLE RECIPE
First step: Ingredients needed for chicken casserole
First, preheat your oven to 180 Celsius or 350 Fahrenheit.
Prepare all of your ingredients, such as pre-cooked chicken and crumbled bacon cut into small pieces or bacon bits.
For broccoli, you could either use florets only or the stems cut into pieces.
Ranch dressing is made using our recipe as it contains the least carbohydrates you can have.
Cheese, please make sure you buy a whole piece in the supermarket and shred yourself to avoid additional carbs from starches.
Second step: Broccoli
Into a casserole of your choice, add the broccoli as the base.
Third step: Chicken
Onto the broccoli, spread chicken pieces.
Fourth step: Bacon
Sprinkle in your bacon bits.
Fifth step: Ranch dressing
Add half of the ranch dressing and spread it all over the casserole.
Sixth step: Repeat
Depending on the depth of your casserole, you can repeat the steps again.
As you see in the video, I have added broccoli followed by chicken followed by bacon, and sprinkled with ranch dressing.
Make sure the ranch dressing is spread all over the whole casserole.
Seventh step: Shredded cheese and bake
On top of the casserole, lay all of your shredded cheese and place it into the oven for 30 minutes.
Serve it while the casserole is hot and bubbly. You can garish with herbs or crumbled bacon on top of the chicken.
Tips and tricks:
- Vegetables – you can add any vegetables you wish.
- Broccoli – you can blanch your broccoli or use it raw. Using raw broccoli can end with more liquid in the casserole, but that was not in my case, and I love vegetables even half-cooked more than overcooked.
- Want to add more fat – add pieces of butter.
- Spices -additional spices can be added, but if you are using our homemade ranch dressing, they all are in.
- Garnish – Sprinkle with fresh herbs, chives, parsley, basil leaves, spring onion.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Can I make keto chicken bacon ranch casserole with raw chicken?
You certainly can add raw chicken into the casserole.
You need to remember that you might have more liquid inside the casserole as the raw chicken will release it while cooking.
If you want to use raw chicken, I suggest cutting it into small pieces, so you do not have to increase the baking time too much and make sure the chicken bakes thoroughly.
And, of course, add an extra 15 minutes into the baking time.
What to serve with chicken casserole?
- Salad
- French fries
- Roasted veggies
- Gnocchi
- Homemade keto pasta
- Green goddess salad
- Tater tots
- Palmini noodles
- Tortilla chips
- Cauliflower rice
Can you make this easy low carb casserole ahead of time?
Yes, our casserole is such a great dish even after one to two days of making it. I usually portion casserole with the remaining pieces beforehand and warmed up in the oven for a few minutes or until the cheese melts, it is a perfect dish for keto meal planing.
One option is to use crock pot as this crock pot crack chicken and let the flavors mix in for hours.
How do you store chicken bacon ranch casserole?
Our low carb chicken bacon ranch casserole can be stored in the same dish covered with either cling film or aluminum foil.
Store casserole in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
Can you freeze keto casserole?
You can undoubtedly freeze our keto casserole.
I would suggest separating it into portions for easier defrosting later on.
