This low carb chicken dish was actually an experimental recipe I got from my mother-in-law. I made it for my brother and his girlfriend last week. Everyone seemed to like the dish. Bacon and ranch are two of my favourite ingredients for sandwiches, wraps, and salads, so I thought I would try it out on the ever versatile chicken dinner dish. It was delicious! I served this dish with asparagus, rice, and a southwestern style dinner salad (for the non-asparagus lover).

2. Place chicken breasts in bottom of lightly greased casserole dish. Sprinkle dry dressing mix on top. Lay bacon across, and top with cheese.

This chicken dish is very easy and fast to make, and it is definitely kid approved! You can also tweak the spices to your taste. I just added a side of mac ‘n’ cheese and some sugar snaps (sweet snow peas). This meal takes about 30 minutes total to make and contains everyday ingredients, which is great for busy cooks! Enjoy :)
