And Of Course Low Carb Keto Friendly
This low carb keto chicken recipe is sort of like a frying pan casserole dish. The chicken is cooked ahead of time in a slow cooker so you can pull the meat apart and have shredded chicken for this recipe.
You can customize the spices and add other veggies if desired. Cheddar cheese works good but again there are other cheeses you could use to get that taste you love.
Here is a short video to go with the instructions below.

- 2 cups cooked chicken breast 3 small breasts

- 2/3 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup crumbled bacon
- 1/2 cup cheese
For the Topping
- 2 cups cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled bacon
Instructions
I cooked my chicken first in a slow cooker on high for 3.5 hrs with a little chicken broth and salt/pepper.
Remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.In an oven-safe skillet melt 2 tablespoons butter.
Next, add ranch seasoning, cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, chicken broth, 1/4 cup crumbled bacon, and 1/2 cup cheese.
Use a whisk to combine ingredients and cook on low for 5 minutes.If using a steam bag of broccoli follow directions on the bag to steam. Otherwise, steam fresh broccoli in microwave until it reaches desired tenderness while the ranch mixture is simmering.
Add shredded chicken and cooked broccoli to ranch mixture and stir to combine.
Sprinkle 2 cups cheese and 1/2 cup crumbled bacon on top. Cook in oven for 25 minutes then move to top rack. Cook on broil 2-3 minutes until cheese is bubbly and bacon is browned.
