Equipment

Ingredients

14 oz chicken breasts
1/2 cup Keto Ranch Dressing (1/2 cup cottage cheese + 1 tbsp ranch seasonings)
1 cup broccoli
1 cup cauliflower
5 oz bacon about 4–5 rashers, chopped small
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or cheddar – or mix both

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F / 190°C.
Make the cottage cheese ranch marinade (dip) and blend until smooth and creamy. Or, for a shortcut, mix 1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese with a packet of ranch seasoning mix like Hidden Valley.
1/2 cup Keto Ranch Dressing
Cut the chicken into small bite-size pieces. Toss with the cottage cheese ranch marinade. Let it sit while you prep the rest (longer marinating = deeper ranch flavor).
14 oz chicken breasts
Air fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes or pan-fry until crisp. Drain on a paper towel and cut into small pieces.
5 oz bacon
Cut broccoli and cauliflower into small, bite-size florets.
1 cup broccoli, 1 cup cauliflower
In a baking dish or casserole dish, mix the marinated chicken mixture, cooked bacon, and chopped veggies.
Sprinkle mozzarella, cheddar, or both over the top.
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (165°F inside) and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps it thicken slightly and keeps it extra creamy.

Notes

You can marinate the chicken quickly or let it sit longer for a stronger ranch flavor.
Chicken thighs can be swapped for chicken breasts for a juicier flavor.
Use rotisserie or leftover chicken for speed, just know the flavor will be milder.
This casserole makes 2 servings. If cooking for one, store the second serving in an airtight container for the next day.
Keeps in the fridge 3–4 days or freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat with extra cheese if needed.
Internal chicken temperature should reach 165°F to be fully cooked.
