Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step

If not already cooked, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble. Season chicken with salt and pepper. If not already cooked, cook chicken via your preferred method (poaching, baking, or pan-frying) until cooked through. Shred or dice. (20 minutes)

03

Step

If using frozen cauliflower rice, steam according to package directions. Let cool slightly. (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a large mixing bowl, combine milk and ranch dressing mix until well blended. Add the steamed cauliflower rice, 1/2 cup of the Mexican cheese blend, and softened cream cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Add the cooked bacon, shredded chicken, and sliced green onions to the mixing bowl with the cauliflower-cheese mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining Mexican cheese blend evenly over the top. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown, approximately 25-30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. (35 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the chicken before cooking.
To save time, you can use pre-cooked bacon and rotisserie chicken.
Feel free to adjust the amount of Mexican cheese blend to your liking.
If you don't have green onions, chives or a finely diced shallot can be substituted.
This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
