Keto Chicken Bacon Ranch Bowl

This Chicken Bacon Ranch and Veggies recipe was developed during a fridge clean-out night. On this specific evening, we were in a hurry because it was gymnastics night. However, I got this recipe on the table in less than 30 minutes. It’s now a family favorite and on my menu weekend because of how easy and flavorful it is!

What Makes This Recipe Great:

This recipe has both an air fryer and oven method. I personally love using the air fryer because cleaning up is a breeze. I also love the crispy texture it gives the veggies.Whether you choose to use the air fryer or the oven, these chicken bacon ranch bowls are delicious, filling, and low-carb
