This weeknight meal is a savory and satisfying dish that’s bursting with flavor and texture. Inspired by the classic combination of chicken, bacon, and ranch, these foil packets offer a convenient and delicious way to enjoy a low-carb meal without sacrificing taste. Packed with tender chicken, crispy bacon, hearty cauliflower, and creamy ranch dressing, these foil packets are a breeze to make and perfect for busy schedules when you want something hearty and comforting without spending hours in the kitchen.

These are equally great for a meal idea when keto camping too! You can prep the foil packets ahead of time and then cook over a campfire for 15-20 minutes. You can customize to fit your needs as well – swap out the cauliflower for broccoli, asparagus, or even rutabaga or daikon radish. While we are using higher protein chicken breast, you could sub out chicken thighs if you’re looking for a lower protein count. These are large meals, so they’re great for people who fast. But if you don’t do IF, you can always split this into 3 or 4 servings.

Yields 2 servings of Keto Chicken, Bacon & Ranch Foil Packets

The Preparation

  • 2 ounce bacon, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 10 ounce cauliflower, roughly chopped
  • 6 tablespoon ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 medium spring onion, thinly sliced

The Execution

1. Gather and prep all of your ingredients. Pre-heat oven to 400F.

2. Add olive oil to a pan over medium heat. Then add chopped bacon and cook until crisp. Once crispy, remove from the pan, reserving fat, and set aside.

3. Season chicken breast with salt and pepper to taste, then cook in the reserved bacon fat over medium heat. We just want to brown each side of the chicken breast, around 1-2 minutes per side depending on thickness.

4. Place the cauliflower onto a piece of heavy-duty foil. Top with half of the ranch dressing and season with some salt.

5. Add the browned chicken breast on top, then add the remaining ranch over the top of it.

6. Lastly, add the bacon, cheddar cheese and spring onion over the top of the chicken.

7. Fold the foil around the chicken and cauliflower, creating a tight seal.

8. Place onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and cauliflower is tender.

9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. To store, you can place foil packets into an airtight container (or remove from the packets before storage). Enjoy!
