I served mine on part baked bread rolls with a side salad, but you could serve on hamburger buns, over rice or even baked potatoes.

Crack chicken is a great keto choice and you could then serve it with either a big salad or over cauliflower rice.

For a homemade ranch dressing, mix 4tbsb dried milk powder, 2 tbsp dried parsley, 2 tbsp onion powder, 1 tbsp dried chives, 1 tsp dried garlic, 1 tsp celery seeds, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp white pepper, ½ tsp dried dill and ½ tsp paprika. This should give a result similar to a ready-mixed ranch dressing and it will keep well in a sealed container.
