Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
3. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet with the bacon fat and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
4. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain the cauliflower and set it aside.
5. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, chicken broth, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. In the prepared baking dish, layer the cooked chicken, cooked cauliflower, and crispy bacon. Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the top.
7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the dish.
8. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
10. Serve the Keto creamy chicken, bacon, and cauliflower bake hot as a satisfying main dish.
