🥩 Ingredients (Serves 4)
2 lbs (about 4 cups) cooked chicken breast or thighs, shredded or chopped
½ cup mayonnaise (choose one made with animal fat or eggs only; homemade is best)
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional but adds richness)

2 slices crispy bacon, chopped (optional for extra fat & flavor)
¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, parmesan, or mozzarella — optional)
Salt to taste
Black pepper (optional, if tolerated on your version of carnivore)
🔪 Instructions

Let it cool, then shred or dice into small pieces.
Prepare the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and (optional) bone broth to make a creamy dressing.
Add the Ingredients
Stir in shredded chicken, chopped eggs, and (optional) bacon and cheese.
Mix well until evenly coated.
Season and Serve
Add salt to taste.
Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes before eating.
💡 Notes & Tips
Texture too thick? Add a spoon of broth or melted tallow.
Want more fat? Add a tablespoon of butter, tallow, or extra mayo.
Meal prep tip: Keeps well in the fridge for 3–4 days in an airtight container.
Shredded rotisserie chicken (skin-on) makes it even juicier and more flavorful.
