This creamy low carb chicken casserole is packed with cheesy, savory flavor. Loaded with broccoli, turkey bacon, ranch, and tender chicken, it’s an easy keto dinner the whole family will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups broccoli florets
  • 8 slices cooked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 4 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Steam or blanch broccoli florets until just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups cooked chicken, 5 cups broccoli, 8 slices chopped turkey bacon, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup cheddar, and 1 cup ranch dressing. Toss gently until well combined and evenly coated.
  4. Spoon the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish and spread it out to the edges.
  5. Sprinkle the top with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella for a bubbly, golden crust.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly with golden edges. The cheese should be fully melted and starting to brown slightly.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This helps it firm up slightly and makes scooping easier.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save prep time. Hand-shred cheese from a block for better melting than pre-shredded varieties.
  • Drain broccoli very well to prevent a watery casserole. Pat dry with paper towels if needed.
  • Full-fat ranch and cheese keep it creamy and keto-friendly. Can be assembled 24 hours ahead and refrigerated before baking.
