This Keto Cheesy Ranch Popcorn Chicken is not only easy to make, it’s also picky kid (and husband) approved! Get this quick and delicious low carb dinner on the table with a minimum of fuss and lots of rave reviews!!!
Life is busy, especially when you’ve got a job and a family to care for, so like most of you I’m constantly on the hunt for ways to make dinner that also save time, because seriously – who has extra time lying around to use whatever way we want?
Not this chick.
One of the ways I think we can spend more time with our kids especially is by including them in the cooking process at dinnertime.
You’re already spending time preparing dinner, and when you include the rest of the family it makes extra use of that time to chat about your day and how they are feeling, with the added bonus of teaching them a valuable life skill (which seems to be super rare these days BTW, but don’t even get me started because that is a rant for another time).
Obviously when you’re cooking with the kiddos the recipe needs to be quick and easy. Also you want it to be healthy, but still something they are invested in and looking forward to eating when it’s finished.
Since Hungry Jr. loves popcorn chicken, I chose to make this Ranch flavored chicken in bite sized form.
Can I just say that this keto Cheesy Ranch Popcorn Chicken recipe was not only incredibly easy, but also tasted amazing? I mean I know anything Ranch flavored is going to be good, but after the first bite I was like “WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!”
Crunchy, Salty, Herby, Ranchy, Cheesy, Tender PERFECTION. But I knew it could be even better with a sauce (because everything is.)
Hungry Jr. likes honey mustard sauce so I made him some, but I wanted the same sweet tang for the rest of us without the carbs. I thought “why not use a sugar free maple flavored syrup in place of the honey?” – and this low carb Maple Dijon sauce was born literally seconds later.
I won’t go on and on about it other than to say that I could write an entire post around this delicious keto Maple Mustard dipping sauce alone! It perfectly complemented the savory Ranch flavored popcorn chicken – and pretty much any other Ranch-flavored item you’d like to dip!
Once you try it you’ll know what I mean.

This Summer we are trying to spend less time in the kitchen and more time as a family enjoying evenings together by the lake – fishing, sitting by the fire, and just chatting about whatever.
I’m happy to say that tonight’s Cheesy Ranch Popcorn Chicken was a great success, and we followed it up outside with lots of laughing and silliness – which is the best part about spending time with family isn’t it?
Once the snow flies we’ll still be having regular family nights together, but we’ll probably move on to playing cards and board games (any Parcheesi peeps out there??) inside until the weather is more conducive to outside time again!
Except for the occasional foray outdoors to make snowmen of course – we missed that while we were living in South Carolina!
I can tell you with the utmost confidence though that no matter what our family night activities are, this easy low carb ranch popcorn chicken recipe will be featured on the regular!

Cara says
January 6, 2017 at 10:25 pmI made this tonight and we all loved it (kids 9 & 11). I did end up having to make twice the amount of breading mixture. I tossed a few pieces at a time in the mixture and shook off the extra, but still ran out after only a pound of chicken. I also had to cook it for 20-22 minutes at 400 degrees, then under the broiler for about 3 minutes. The broiler really helped to crisp them up – after baking they were still a little soggy. So after all that, they turned out so well. My extremely picky kids ate them all up!

September 15, 2016 at 2:01 pmOMG!!! The popcorn chicken is AMAZING! I used my homemade mayo, and since I didn’t have any “ranch” packets, I used some chicken broth (herbs) healthy flavoring I had at home. I also used extra parmesan cheese. Super fast, easy to make and delicious.

Chris says
August 25, 2016 at 6:23 pmA few people were commenting on the MSG, as a popcorn lover, I make my own popcorn seasoning, been tweaking it for years but the secret is salt Parmigiano-Reggiano nutritional yeast flakes and I have a few other things I use them there some crazy Ethiopian spices and then you have to grind them in a spice grinder I cook my popcorn in coconut oil and then whoever I’m watching a movie with gets to shake the bowl while I slowly drizzle homemade butter from local cream over it then we put the spice mix and Shake which perfectly coats butter Laden popcorn, nutritional yeast flakes have a very cheese like flavor, but need to be ground up to distribute their flavor well

August 8, 2016 at 10:53 pmHey there! Just wanted to say I LOVE this recipe. I’ve tried several of your recipes over the past four weeks. This website has kept me from getting sick of my low carb diet and has helped me lose almost 20 pounds in under a month! Thank you so much for the creative and simple recipes that have made this diet very enjoyable.
I wanted to ask if you’d ever tried frying these. I haven’t worked much with almond flour before so I don’t know how well it will work but I’d like to give it a shot in the hopes of crisping up the batter a little more.
Thanks again,
Dyl

Sarah says
April 10, 2018 at 6:29 pmMy experience as well! The next time I make it, I’m going to substitute crushed pork rinds for part of the almond flour and increase the temp. Alternatively, maybe we could deep fry? I’m not sure if the breading would survive the deep fry process, though.

December 8, 2015 at 4:49 pmTried this recipe this week- the results weren’t exactly like the picture- the ‘breading’ didn’t stick very well. Though I did try to ‘shake & bake’ the chicken (where you dump the wet coated chicken straight into the dry mix & toss), which I don’t think worked very well; maybe I should have dry-coated the chicken one piece at a time (ahhh tedium). And the dipping sauce, I followed the recipe exactly but it was WAY too sweet for my taste. All we were tasting was syrup. I upped the mustard a little to balance it out, but it still was pretty sweet. Maybe I’ll try this again with some adjustments.
★★★
Mellissa Sevigny says
December 8, 2015 at 7:56 pmUnfortunately that doesn’t work well (I tried it too and it just gunked up and fell off) so you do have to dip them just a few at a time to get the coating on right. As far as the sauce goes, it will depend the brand of syrup and mustard I think so you definitely have to play with the ratios to get the right balance of flavors for your taste!

November 24, 2015 at 6:48 amMellissa, I love, love, love your recipes. The recipe itself sounds great, but I’m really surprised that you would use the actual Hidden Valley seasoning mix. It’s got MSG in it – like the second ingredient or so – which is an excitotoxin, and not good for us at all.
The recipe sounds great, so I’m pretty sure I’ll make it, but I’ll make my own seasoning mi.

November 23, 2015 at 8:55 pmI LOVE the idea of popcorn chicken! I think my husband would love them as well. I can see making this along with some cut up veggies to go with the dip as well and enjoying it all in front of a basketball or football game! Thanks for the recipes!

November 23, 2015 at 8:08 pmA fun family night is making hot chocolate and cookies for the little ones, turning on a fun movie and snuggling on the couch. My kids love ranch and they love popcorn chicken, so I will be making this tomorrow.

November 23, 2015 at 4:47 pmMy idea of the perfect family night is me and my husband playing games and having a bonfire with our families- whether it’s my dad and siblings, or his mom and sister. It’s a little cold here now for a bonfire, but the fireplace will also work. :) Also, chili is usually involved since it’s an easy meal everyone loves.

November 23, 2015 at 4:01 pmWhen the snow starts falling we love picnics in front of the fireplace! Bring on the holiday songs, yummy food (maybe this chicken!) and time in front of a warm fire together while the snow piles up for us to play in tomorrow!

November 23, 2015 at 3:32 pmThis came in the nick of time..Wednesday I am babysitting 3 of my grand kids. They love ranch dressing and chicken nuggets and now it is combined. Hidden Valley is the only brand I can use..My one grandson is allergic to all other commercial brands. Thanks!

November 23, 2015 at 12:42 pmOur perfect family night is filling yet semi-healthy dinner, snuggling and then…a dance party.
We move the coffee table, put on some good music, then my husband, myself & our three kids, ages 12, 9 & 3, dance until we are all rolling, laughing & out of breath on the floor.
No matter how stressful of a day we have and even if the kids are bickering, the moment we start dancing it out, everything comes together & we have a blast.
Hope everyone has a safe, peaceful & YUMMY Thanksgiving!

November 23, 2015 at 12:07 pmThis Cheesy Ranch Popcorn Chicken recipe sounds great…look forward to making it. My family loves it when I make Ranch Popcorn. I do it a little different and add the dry Hidden Valley Ranch dressing to melted butter and then put it on the popcorn. So yummy! Thanks for all the great recipes!

November 24, 2015 at 2:53 pmI like that idea Heather because then you can get an even distribution of the flavor!
helene says
November 23, 2015 at 10:09 amEven better, invite a single or single mom over to laugh with your family!

November 23, 2015 at 9:26 amI love putting the HV dressing mix over a roast and having roast with veggies. The flavoring is fantastic.
Tracy G. says
November 23, 2015 at 9:17 amI’ll be making this recipe for sure!
I live away from my family, so a perfect family night usually centers around a holiday, when we can all be back together again. We absolutely love having a great homemade meal, and then settling down for a raucous card game with lots of laughter.
Mellissa Sevigny says
November 23, 2015 at 9:20 amCard games with family are the BEST Tracy! We love trump games like Spades especially but we play Hearts and 9-5 (setback) sometimes too!
