ranch chicken casserole meal prep

The easiest, healthy ranch chicken casserole! This took less than 15 minutes to throw together, 20 minutes to bake and reheats so well. Great for meal prep, easy postpartum/busy mom meals, or just an easy dinner that anyone short on time can enjoy. Serve with your favorite carb and veggie for a complete meal! For this meal prep, I did broccoli and rice.

MACROS (for the whole meal prep bowl): 40g p / 40g c / 16g f ; 509 cals

Ingredients

• 14 oz chicken breast, cooked and shredded (you can also use rotisserie chicken to make things even easier)

• 1 cup nonfat greek yogurt

• 3/4 can cream of chicken soup

• 1 cup shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese

• 3 tbsp ranch seasoning

• 8 crushed ritz crackers to top

• 1 bag (about 3-4 cups) frozen broccoli, steamed

• 1.5 cups frozen cauliflower rice, steamed

• 240g jasmine rice, prepared (about 2 cups)

Directions

Prepare your shredded chicken. I poached mine until cooked through, and then used my hand mixer to shred it! You can also use rotisserie chicken to make it easier.
Mix all of your casserole ingredients besides the crackers, broccoli, cauliflower rice and regular rice together in a bowl.
Spray your meal prep containers with cooking spray (or you can make this in an 8inch cooking dish and scoop into containers after cooked), and divide your casserole into four equal portions in each container. Top each portion with 2 crushed crackers.
Bake in the oven at 350* for 20 minutes.
While it bakes, prep your rice mixture (I just mix the cauliflower rice and regular rice together after cooked) and broccoli.
Once the casserole is cooked, add in four equal portions of the rice mixture and broccoli to the bowls, let cool, and then store in the fridge for the best meal prep! Also great to eat immediately.

FYI -- the crackers do get a little soggy after being in the fridge. SO if you want to avoid that, just top with crushed crackers when ready to eat.

Enjoy!
