Description
A quick, hearty low-carb meal that layers tender chicken, seasoned beef, crumbled bacon, fresh greens, cherry tomatoes, cheese, and a creamy ranch dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked chicken, diced
- 1 cup cooked ground beef
- 4 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cups mixed greens (e.g., spinach, arugula)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing (low-carb)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. Dice the cooked chicken if needed, halve the cherry tomatoes, and crumble the cooked bacon. If you prefer warm meat, reheat chicken and ground beef briefly in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until just warm.
- In a large bowl, add the mixed greens. Layer in the diced chicken and cooked ground beef so the proteins sit evenly over the greens.
- (If reheating) Sauté the pre-cooked meats briefly to warm them through and revive browned flavor. Otherwise, skip cooking — this bowl works great with already-cooked, chilled proteins for a cool salad-style bowl.
- Add the crumbled bacon and halved cherry tomatoes to the bowl. Drizzle with the low-carb ranch dressing and toss gently to combine. Top with shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve these bowls chilled or slightly warm. For a heartier meal, serve with cauliflower rice or roasted low-carb veggies. Store assembled bowls in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
