01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning it now and then, until it’s nice and crispy, about 10 minutes. Once done, drain the bacon on paper towels and set it aside.

Step 2
Next, season the chicken breasts with a bit of salt and pepper. Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil, add the chicken, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through—this usually takes around 15 minutes. While the chicken is cooking, pop the cauliflower rice in the microwave right in its package for about 5 minutes, then let it cool for a bit.

Step 3
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and ranch dressing mix, then stir in the cooked cauliflower rice along with half a cup of Mexican cheese and the cream cheese. Chop up the cooked bacon and chicken into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl, along with some chopped green onions. Give everything a good mix, then spread the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the rest of the Mexican cheese on top.

Step 4
Bake the dish for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbling. Let it cool slightly before serving, and enjoy!
