Keto Baked Crack Chicken

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven:
   Set to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

2. Prepare chicken:
   Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Arrange them in the baking dish.

3. Mix topping:
   In a bowl, combine cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth.

4. Assemble:
   Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chicken. Top with remaining cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.

5. Bake:
   Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is bubbly and golden.

6. Garnish:
   Sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve with:

• Steamed broccoli or cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal

• A side salad with ranch or creamy garlic dressing

Tips:

• Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness.

• For added flavor, sprinkle a little smoked paprika on top before baking.

• Can be made ahead and reheated — it’s great for meal prep.
