This one-dish casserole layers tender shredded chicken and crispy bacon into a rich ranch-and-cheddar sauce for a weeknight dinner the whole family will request on repeat. It is naturally low-carb, gluten-free, and endlessly adaptable.

Ingredients

2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cooked and shredded

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup full-fat sour cream

1/2 cup mayonnaise

3 tbsp dry ranch seasoning (no added sugar)

8 oz bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

2 cups chopped fresh broccoli florets, lightly steamed

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning, minced garlic, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Fold in the shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, half of the crumbled bacon, and 1 cup of the cheddar until everything is evenly coated.

Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar and the rest of the bacon.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the casserole is hot through and the cheese is melted and bubbling at the edges.

Let rest 5 minutes, garnish with fresh chives, and serve.

Tips & notes

Use a rotisserie chicken to save time — about 4 cups of shredded meat replaces the thighs perfectly.

Swap broccoli for cauliflower or chopped fresh spinach; both keep the net carbs low and add bulk.

Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm the whole dish at 350°F until heated through. Freezes well for up to 2 months.
