Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast (about 1 pound)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)
- 4 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing (preferably low-carb)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
- Olive oil or cooking spray (for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This sets the stage for even cooking.
- Grease a large oven-safe skillet with olive oil or cooking spray. This prevents sticking and ensures easy cleanup.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste until fully combined. Aim for a homogeneous mixture with no streaks.
- In the greased skillet, add the 2 cups of cooked and shredded chicken breast. Spread it evenly across the pan.
- Pour the egg mixture over the chicken, making sure it’s evenly distributed. Watch for any bubbling or immediate cooking at the edges — this is a good sign.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese and the crumbled 4 slices of bacon on top of the egg mixture, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The egg should be set in the center and the top slightly golden. Avoid overcooking, as this can dry out the eggs.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing into bowls. This allows the dish to firm up slightly, making serving easier.
- Drizzle 1/4 cup ranch dressing over the top and garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired. This final touch adds color and brightens the dish.

Keywords: Be careful not to over-whisk the eggs; you want a nice, fluffy texture. Using an oven-safe skillet simplifies the cooking process and helps achieve an even cook throughout. Adjust the ratio of heavy cream to eggs for creamier or firmer results.
