Carnivore Chicken Casserole

🥘 Carnivore Chicken Casserole (Creamy & Cheesy)

✅ Ingredients

• 2 lbs (900 g) chicken thighs or chicken breast (boneless, skinless)

• 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese (full-fat)

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1½ cups shredded cheese
  (cheddar, mozzarella, Colby Jack, or a mix — carnivore-safe)

• 4 tbsp butter

• 1 tsp salt (to taste)

• ½ tsp black pepper (optional if you allow minimal seasoning)

• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional — omit for strict carnivore)

🔪 Instructions

1. Preheat oven
   Set oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook the chicken

   • Cut chicken into bite-size pieces.

   • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.

   • Add chicken and salt; cook until just done (5–7 minutes).

   • Remove from heat.

3. Make the creamy sauce

   • In the same skillet (low heat), add cream cheese and heavy cream.

   • Stir until smooth and creamy.

   • Add half of the shredded cheese and stir until melted.

4. Assemble casserole

   • Add cooked chicken back into the sauce and mix well.

   • Transfer to a greased baking dish (9×13 or similar).

   • Top with remaining shredded cheese.

5. Bake

   • Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until bubbly and lightly golden on top.

6. Rest & serve

   • Let sit 5 minutes before serving.

🍽 Tips & Variations

• Extra rich: Add 2–3 egg yolks to the sauce (off heat) for custard-like texture.

• Crispy top: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.

• More fat: Add bacon bits or pork rinds on top (still carnivore).
