Craving rich, pillowy pasta comfort without the massive carbohydrate spike? 🙌 This Cheesy Baked Chicken Bacon Ranch Cauliflower Gnocchi Casserole swaps traditional potato pasta for low-carb cauliflower gnocchi—tossed with lean shredded chicken, a tangy Greek yogurt ranch sauce, gooey melted mozzarella, and crispy turkey bacon! Baked into ONE bubbly, cozy dish in under 30 minutes! 🕒✨
Ingredients:
2 bags (12 oz each) Frozen Cauliflower Gnocchi (like Trader Joe's)
3 cups Cooked Chicken Breast (shredded)
4 slices Lean Turkey Bacon (cooked crispy and crumbled)
1/2 cup Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (or skim milk, to thin sauce)
1 packet (1 oz) Low-Sodium Dry Ranch Seasoning Mix
3 cloves Garlic (minced)
1 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
2 tbsp Fresh Chives or Green Onions (finely chopped)
Olive oil cooking spray
Salt & Freshly Cracked Black Pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9x13-inch clear Pyrex glass baking dish with cooking spray and set it inside a rimmed baking sheet.
Heat a large skillet sprayed with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add frozen cauliflower gnocchi and pan-sear for 5–7 minutes, tossing occasionally until lightly golden and crisp on the outside.
In a large bowl, whisk together plain Greek yogurt, almond milk, minced garlic, dry ranch seasoning, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Add the pan-seared gnocchi, shredded chicken breast, and half of the crumbled turkey bacon to the ranch sauce. Toss gently until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into your glass baking dish, smoothing it into an even layer with a spatula.
Top evenly with shredded mozzarella, cheddar cheese, and the remaining crispy turkey bacon crumbles.
Bake uncovered for 18 minutes, then switch to broil on high for 2 minutes until the cheese is blistered, bubbling, and golden brown around the edges.
Garnish with chopped fresh chives, slice with a slotted spatula, and serve piping hot! 🥗✨
