Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (fan-forced).

  7. Transfer the chicken mix into the casserole dish on top of the veggies.
  8. Pour the creamy protein sauce over the chicken.
  9. Stir gently to combine and add ½ cup of cheese and mix again. Once everything is well combined, sprinkle the optional cheese on top if using it.
  10. Bake for 20 minutes.
  11. Let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with greens or your favourite root veggies. Enjoy your High Protein Creamy Chicken & Bacon Bake!
