Keto Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole

It’s no secret that I love making easy recipes, and Keto Chicken Bacon Casserole is my new favorite recipe that I bring back over and over again.

I like to use leftover chicken and frozen broccoli in the recipe so I can stir it up and pop it in the oven in minutes.

Another time-saving tip is to prepare a batch (or several) of ranch dressing in advance. So, when I’m ready to cook, I take it out of the fridge and pour it into the dish.

Really, it would be hard to make this dish easier to prepare than it already is.

Plus, it’s so delicious that I know it will be a hit with your whole family.

Recipe modifications and alternatives

This Keto Bacon Ranch Chicken Casserole recipe is just as delicious as it gets.

However, not all components may be readily available to you. Or you may not care about all the ingredients and that’s okay!

There are a lot of substitutions and modifications you can make to this recipe, and it will still be absolutely delicious.

You can use chicken thighs if you are not a fan of chicken breasts, or just chicken thighs in the freezer.
Leftover chicken is great to use in this dish. Leftover Keto Lemon Pepper Grilled Chicken, 3 ingredient keto crispy chicken drumsticks, and Keto Crockpot Shredded Chicken are perfect to use in this recipe.
Store-bought roast chicken is a huge time saver when preparing this recipe. Just be sure to check that the chicken has no added sugar before buying.
Don’t care about bacon? Just leave it outside. The recipe would be delicious without it.
Fresh cauliflower can be used in place of fresh broccoli.
You don’t have fresh broccoli or is it not available to you? Frozen broccoli works great. Simply defrost according to package instructions and drain well before adding to the casserole.
Frozen cauliflower florets work great, too. You can use fresh or frozen cauliflower as well but be sure to use unbleached distilled cauliflower.
