One of the very first truly keto recipes I ever made, and was blown away. This is the recipe that let me know this keto thing was serious, and for life! Give it a try. Tell me it's not life altering... And yes. That's how I say it. one word chickenbaconcheddarranch

Chicken Bacon Cheddar Ranch Casserole.

Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breast
16 oz bag frozen broccoli cuts, steamed and drained
1 TBS Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning
Sprinkle garlic powder
Sprinkle onion powder
salt & pepper to taste
5 pieces cooked bacon (Chopped up. Mix 3 into the mixture, 2 for the topping)
2 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 oz. sour cream
2 oz. mayo
8 oz. shredded cheddar
Green Onions (White part for the mixture. Greens for the top)

Preheat oven to 350*
 

Season chicken with salt, pepper, onion and garlic powders. Bake till cooked. Once cooked cube it up. Steam broccoli and chop it up. Add broccoli, and chicken, 2 pieces chopped bacon, 6 oz cheddar to a large bowl.

Mix the cream cheese, mayo, and sour cream with the ranch seasoning, and the white bottoms.  (Try not to eat this straight out of the bowl!) Add this to the chicken, broccoli mixture. Mix thoroughly. Transfer to a baking dish. Top with one piece chopped bacon and the remaining cheese. Bake until bubbly and brown at 350* Once done garnish with the green parts of the green onions. 

Tip: Poached chicken works well here as does the meat from a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket
