I was experimenting with a few different recipes and ended up modifying and making my own. I like the way this recipe came together, it was the perfect texture and perfectly LCHF (low carb, high fat) with 36g fat and 5g total carbs!
For busy families: I totally get being busy and this recipe is very flexible for busy a lifestyle! You can easily skip making the chicken thighs and throw in canned or pre-cooked chicken, or skip crumbling bacon and add bacon bits (I’ve even done with from time to time!). Just be cautious of any carbs in those packaged goods.

Sounds delicious…just wondering how it would be all mixed together instead of layering. Maybe adding a little more sauce for the veggies.
