Indulge in the creamy, savory delight of Keto Chicken Bacon Broccoli Stew with Cheddar Cheese and Cream. This deliciously rich and hearty dish is perfect for those following a keto diet, offering a satisfying blend of tender chicken, crispy bacon, nutritious broccoli, and a luscious creamy cheese sauce.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
- Chop the bacon into small chunks.
- Cut broccoli into florets if not already done.
- Shred the cheddar cheese.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Leave the bacon fat in the pot.
- Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the pot with the bacon fat.
- Cook over medium-high heat until the chicken is browned on all sides and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the broccoli florets.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Cook the broccoli for about 5 minutes, until it is tender but still bright green.
- Return the cooked chicken and bacon to the pot with the broccoli.
- Add the heavy whipping cream, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for another 5-10 minutes until the stew has thickened slightly.
- Season the stew with a dash of salt and black pepper to taste.
- Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and combined into the stew.
- Once the cheese is melted and the stew is creamy, give it one final stir.
- Ladle the hot stew into bowls and enjoy!
Tips:
- For an extra crispy texture, cook the bacon separately before adding it to the stew.
- Steam the broccoli lightly before adding it to ensure it retains its vibrant color and crunch.
- Use freshly grated cheddar cheese for a smoother melt and richer flavor.
- To enhance the flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs.
- Taste the stew before adding extra salt and pepper, as the bacon and cheese can add a significant amount of saltiness to the dish.
