Keto Cauliflower Chicken Second

Those who follow the keto diet know how important protein is, which is why we like to add chicken and bacon to our casserole. The protein adds some extra macros for a hearty and well-rounded meal. We all know how well chicken and bacon go together, and with the addition of the two types of cheese, this casserole tastes so indulgent, you’ll completely forget that it’s low-carb.  

Some people claim that they don’t feel full after a meal without carbohydrates. However, the addition of cauliflower in this dish makes it extremely filling while still allowing you to stick to your low-carb lifestyle. 

We love recipes that don’t keep you in the kitchen all day, and this one is no exception. The recipe couldn’t be more straightforward–you simply layer your cauliflower, meat and cheeses in a crockpot, set it and forget it until it’s time to eat. If you’re cooking it without chicken, we recommend 3-4 hours of cooking time. If you are using chicken, simply add an extra hour of cooking time and you’re good to go!We also like to add some green onion at the end for some color and an extra pop of flavor. This casserole makes great leftovers, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself craving it for both lunch and dinner!
