(See below for dairy free version)
You’ve heard of location, location, location? Well with keto, making simple dishes sometimes comes down to one ingredient: bacon, bacon, bacon. The nitrate-free variety for the cleanest eating possible. This Keto Chicken Bacon Bake recipe takes all of 20 minutes to toss together. Even less time if you’re doing the dairy-free version. With the healthy fats, you stay satiated more so than simply low-carb eating without the filling and brain-feeding fats.
Keto Chicken Bacon Bake Recipe
- Dice two chicken breasts and season with Himalayan pink salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder.
- In small pan, melt 2 ounce full-fat cream cheese in 1/4 cup bone-sipping broth.
- Stir in diced chicken, 1 T avocado oil and pour into casserole dish.
- Layer on 2 cups of chopped broccoli and 3 strips crumbled nitrate-free bacon.
- Top with 4 ounces of cheese, your choice! Pictured is provolone and colby jack.
- Bake at 375 for 20 minutes. Eat, swoon, sit back full and happy!

What Makes This Keto
1. Healthy Fats: dump the old oils that are inflammatory (corn, canola, vegetable, soybean), and bring in the healthy keto friendly oils (olive, coconut, avocado, grade-fed butter, ghee, nitrate-free bacon fat).
2. More Healthy Fats: cheese and cream cheese
3. The Salt: Himalayan Pink salt has micronutrients that table salt does not. And to avoid the Keto Flu, which is a loss of electrolytes (potassium, magnesium, salt), YOU NEED SALT. Especially if you’re doing clean keto, which means ingredients count. Dirty keto means people are concerned only with carb count.
