How to Make Keto Bacon Ranch Chicken Casserole

Add the cream cheese to a large mixing bowl and soften in the microwave for about 10 seconds until almost melted.  Mix in the bacon ranch dressing and chicken stock.

Add in the chicken, spinach, half the crumbled bacon and half the shredded cheddar and mix.

Pour the mixture into a greased 9” x 9” casserole.

Then top with the remaining cheese.

Bake for 20 minutes on the center rack.  Then bake an additional 5 minutes on the top rack or until the cheese is golden and bubbly! 

Top with the remaining crumbled bacon, allow to cool slightly and serve. And just like that, dinner is served!

Store leftovers in the fridge for a few days.

Can I Freeze Leftover Keto Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole?

This low carb casserole freezes beautifully which makes an easy solution for busy weeknight meal ideas. Just store leftovers in an airtight freezer safe container for up to a couple of months.

You can even divide it into portions before freezing. Be sure to date the outside of the container so you'll know the date it was frozen.

Substitutions for Bacon Ranch Keto Shredded Chicken Recipes

  • There are several options for how to prepare chicken for this recipe. You can boil your own or even buy rotisserie chicken, just be sure to look for any added sugar or preservatives in grocery store rotisserie chicken.
  • You can use fresh spinach if you prefer. One pound fresh spinach is the equivalent of 9 ounces of frozen.
  • Cheddar cheese provides a great contrast to the creaminess of the cream cheese. But if you have another cheese that's your favorite, it will work fine. You'll want a good melting cheese to use in its place.
  • Premixed ranch dressing mixes usually have maltodextrin or sugar that's not recommended for those on Keto or low carb diets. Using homemade mixes saves all that worry and it's super easy to make.
  • Cream cheese gives this Keto casserole the classic tangy ranch flavor, but if you'd like a more subtle flavor, opt for Mascarpone cheese. It has a milder flavor and less carbs than cream cheese.

Is Chicken Casserole Keto?

This one certainly is. It has a lot of healthy fat from the cream cheese and bacon balanced with the right amount of protein from the chicken and is loaded with vitamins and minerals with the added spinach.

And the best news is it's low carb! With only 3 net carbs for serving, who could ask for more?!

Looks like an awesome dinner to me! Love the video too, super helpful, I am terrible at cooking chicken in a skillet but your video made it looks easy to do! I’ve always wanted to try one of those Tagines, they look cool. 🙂

Hi Jacqueline,
There is no weight or size measurement, a serving is simply 1/6th of the entire recipe.

At what point do you add the 1/2 cup chicken stock?

You add it when you mix in the ranch dressing. I've edited the instructions to reflect this, sorry for the confusion!
