Pin This RecipeHappy New Year!!!! If you are like me, you probably overindulged over the past few weeks. It’s time to get back into the swing of things. I ate WAY too many carbs – rolls, dressing, cookies! OMG! It was delicious, but it is time to reel it back in. We are getting back to regular eating with this yummy Low-Carb Crack Chicken Casserole. Eggs, cream, chicken, cheddar, bacon, and ranch. YUM!
This casserole is super easy to make. It literally takes about 5 minutes to whip up. To get this ready to bake so quickly, I use rotisserie chicken. It is a HUGE time saver! I always have some pulled rotisserie chicken in the freezer for easy casseroles like this one. I also buy precooked real bacon bits in bulk at Costco. Perfect!
We absolutely LOVED this Low-Carb Crack Chicken Casserole. It is one of our go-to meals all year, not just in January. We ate this for lunch and leftover for dinner the same night. It was really, really good. We loved all the flavors! We also loved that it was ready to eat in about 30 minutes!
I know a lot of you like make-ahead and freezer meals. This casserole can be frozen unbaked or baked for a quick meal later. If you freeze it unbaked, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before baking. I just pop it in the fridge before I go to bed and it is ready to bake for dinner the next day.

Can I use canned chicken for this recipe?
Yes – if you like canned chicken.
Can you use mixer Ella cheese instead of cheddar?
Not sure what that is, but any cheese is fine.
Just made this for dinner tonight and LOVED it – my husband gave it a thumbs up. Will definitely be making this again. I did add a few shakes of salt and pepper, but otherwise followed directions as stated. Thank you.

This recipe uses prepared ranch dressing – from a bottle or homemade
