1. Can I use raw chicken in the Keto Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole?

Yes, you can use raw chicken in this casserole. If you use raw chicken, it will release some liquid as it cooks, which may thin out the casserole a bit. If you prefer a thicker casserole, you can pre-cook the chicken to avoid excess liquid. Either way, the casserole will turn out delicious!

2. How can I make this casserole more veggie-packed?

To increase the vegetable content of the casserole, try adding cauliflower, broccoli, or spinach directly into the mixture before baking. These veggies complement the creamy filling and add extra nutrients, making the casserole even more satisfying and healthy.

3. Can I make Keto Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the casserole ahead of time! Simply assemble the casserole, cover it tightly, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. This makes it a great option for meal prep or when you need a quick dinner. Just bake it when you're ready to serve.
