Main Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 slices of bacon
- 2 cups mixed greens (lettuce, spinach, or your choice)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 avocado, sliced
- ½ cup shredded cheese (optional)
- ¼ cup ranch dressing (keto-friendly)
Seasonings and Cooking Essentials
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Cook the Bacon: Fry the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until golden and crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease, then crumble into bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil in the same skillet and cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juicy. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips or cubes.
- Assemble the Base: Place a generous handful of mixed greens in each bowl. Top with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, and shredded cheese if using.
- Add Chicken and Bacon: Layer sliced chicken evenly over the greens, then sprinkle with crispy bacon pieces for added crunch.
- Drizzle with Ranch Dressing: Finish with a hearty drizzle of your favorite keto-friendly ranch dressing. Toss gently if desired or leave on top for presentation.
Notes

- Choose full-fat ranch dressing for best keto macros and richer flavor.
- Cook bacon and chicken ahead to streamline bowl assembly.
- Avoid overloading greens for balanced flavor and texture.
- Keep bacon crispy and avocado creamy for enjoyable texture contrast.
