Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 pound lean ground beef (90/10 or leaner)
- 4 slices reduced-sodium turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large bell pepper (any color), chopped
- 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free ranch seasoning mix (powder)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the beef bacon slices in a skillet until crispy. Remove the beef bacon, crumble it, and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of the rendered beef bacon fat in the skillet.
- Step 2: In the same skillet with the reserved turkey bacon fat (or add olive oil if needed), brown the ground beef, breaking it apart, and cook the cubed chicken breast until no longer pink and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and transfer the cooked meats to a large mixing bowl.
- Step 3: Add the chopped bell pepper and broccoli florets to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender-crisp. Transfer the vegetables to the mixing bowl with the cooked chicken and beef.
- Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the plain non-fat Greek yogurt and the sugar-free ranch seasoning mix until smooth. Pour this ranch sauce over the chicken, beef, and vegetables in the mixing bowl. Add the crumbled beef bacon and stir everything gently to combine.
- Step 5: Transfer the entire mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bake is heated through and the vegetables are tender. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, making it perfect for healthy meal prep.
- For best results, gently reheat individual portions in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until warmed through, or pop it back in a 300°F oven for 10-15 minutes, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it moist.
- While this bake is a complete meal on its own, a simple side salad with a light vinaigrette or a small portion of cauliflower rice would complement it wonderfully for an extra green boost.
- To ensure your veggies are perfectly tender-crisp in the final bake, avoid over-sautéing them in Step 3; aim for just slightly softened so they finish cooking without turning mushy in the oven.
