Ingredients:

2 lb chicken breasts
910g
1 oz frozen spinach
27g
2 tsp garlic powder
6g
1/2 tsp onion powder
0.58g
8 oz cream cheese
230g
4 oz sour cream
110g
1/2 cup mayonnaise salad dressing
120g
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
100g
4 bacon strips
50g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
54g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat.

2. Prepare the Bacon: In a medium skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until they are crispy. Once cooked, remove them and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
3. Prepare the Chicken: While the bacon is cooking, trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
4. Sear the Chicken: Lightly grease a large skillet with the cooking spray oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Make the Creamy Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and onion powder. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula to mix until smooth and creamy.
6. Combine Ingredients: To the creamy mixture, add the cooked chicken pieces, thawed and drained spinach, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until everything is well combined.
7. Assemble the Casserole: Pour the chicken mixture into a greased 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
8. Top with Bacon and Cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the top of the casserole. Then, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the bacon.
9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Low Carb Bacon Chicken Caesar Casserole as a hearty and satisfying main dish!

Tips:

- Make sure to cook the bacon ahead of time so it’s crispy and easy to crumble over the top of the casserole.

- You can use fresh spinach instead of frozen; just make sure to sauté it first to remove excess moisture.

- Feel free to use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time on cooking the chicken breasts.

- For a bit of added texture, consider topping the casserole with some crushed pork rinds during the last 10 minutes of baking.

- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the cheese mixture.

This Low Carb Bacon Chicken Caesar Casserole offers a mouth-watering combination of flavors and textures, all while being low in carbs. From the creamy cheese blend to the crispy bacon, each bite is sure to please. Serve it with a side salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal that’s both delicious and nutritious. Enjoy your hearty and satisfying casserole!
