Notes

Make this chicken bacon ranch casserole recipe with cooked chicken if desired. Bake for 15-20 minutes if the chicken is already cooked.
The chicken will let out its’ juices during the cooking process. Gently drain those juices before serving if desired.
It’s important to keep an eye on your low carb casserole while it’s broiling for the last 2-3 minutes. Some ovens are more powerful than others and you definitely don’t want to burn your casserole.
It’s very important to make sure you chop the chicken into very small bite sized pieces so they cook evenly and within the 40-45 minute timeframe.
You may use frozen cauliflower for this dish as well. Simply add them to the baking dish and follow the rest of the instructions.
