Savory Keto Chicken Sheet Pan Supper: Easy and Delicious!

Ingredients

• 3/4 teaspoon of aromatic garlic powder
• 3/4 teaspoon of flavorful onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
• A generous pound of tender chicken strips
• A minimum of 6 slices of crispy bacon, or more for extra indulgence
• 1 pound of asparagus spears, carefully trimmed and cut in half
• Season with a pinch of salt and a dash of ground black pepper
• Divide 3 tablespoons of rich olive oil
• A package of cauliflower rice weighing 14 ounces
• Optionally add 1/4 cup of zesty Buffalo-style hot pepper sauce

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and prepare a 12x18-inch baking sheet by lining it with shiny aluminum foil for easy cleanup later.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine a magical blend of garlic powder, onion powder, and zesty black pepper. Sprinkle this flavorful mixture generously over the chicken tenders, giving them a savory kick. Next, lovingly wrap each tender in a cozy slice of bacon, placing them in the center of the baking sheet like little gifts waiting to be unwrapped.

Step 3

On one side of the chicken, arrange the vibrant halved asparagus spears, creating a colorful contrast. Season them with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, then drizzle them with a tablespoon of oil for a touch of moisture and flavor.

Step 4

Now, on the other side of the baking sheet, gently spread out the riced cauliflower like a fluffy cloud. Season it with a pinch of salt and pepper, then generously drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the cauliflower, ensuring each grain glistens with goodness.

Step 5

Pop the sheet pan into the preheated oven and let the flavors mingle and dance for 13 to 15 minutes, remembering to give the cauliflower and asparagus a gentle stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

When the time is right, switch your oven to broil and let the magic happen. Watch as the bacon crisps up, the chicken cooks to tender perfection, and the vegetables roast to mouthwatering goodness. This should take an additional 2 to 3 minutes under the broiler. To be sure everything is cooked through, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 7

Once your masterpiece is ready, take it out of the oven and drizzle the chicken tenders with a tantalizing hot sauce for an extra kick. Serve this delightful dish immediately, savoring the aroma and flavors, or portion it into storage containers to enjoy later. Enjoy!
