Ingredients
  

For the bowls
  • 10 oz frozen steam-in-bag cauliflower rice Fresh riced cauliflower can be used.
  • 4 cups cooked shredded chicken Use rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken to save time.
  • 6 slices bacon, fried and crumbled For extra crispiness, bake bacon.
  • 4 oz cream cheese Room temperature is preferred for easier melting.
  • ½ cup sour cream Can be swapped for dairy-free alternatives.
  • 1 packet ranch dressing seasoning Taste before adding additional salt.
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese For extra flavor, can top with additional cheddar before broiling.
  • to taste chopped parsley for garnish Fresh parsley adds color and flavor.

Method
 

Prepare cauliflower rice
  1. Steam cauliflower rice according to package instructions; set aside.
  2. For fresh riced cauliflower, spread on a baking sheet and roast at 425°F for 8–10 minutes to remove moisture.
Cook bacon
  1. Fry bacon until crispy in a skillet, drain on paper towels, crumble, and set aside.
Make creamy sauce
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add cream cheese and sour cream. Stir frequently until smooth.
  2. Stir in ranch seasoning until evenly distributed, add shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted.
  3. If the sauce is too thick, stir in 1–2 tablespoons of water or chicken broth.
Assemble bowls
  1. Add shredded chicken and steamed cauliflower rice to the skillet; toss gently to coat.
  2. Mix in half of the crumbled bacon and cook until heated through for 3–4 minutes.
Serve
  1. Divide mixture into bowls, top with remaining crumbled bacon and chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
  2. For a bubbly, golden top, transfer to an oven-safe dish, sprinkle with extra cheddar, and broil for 1–2 minutes.

Notes

Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3–4 days. Reheat gently to prevent drying out. Can be frozen for 2–3 months without extra bacon and parsley.
