A hearty, high-fat, high-protein dish perfect for a carnivore or keto diet. Great for meal prep and reheats beautifully.

📋 Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 2½ to 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed (rotisserie or leftover works great)

• 6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped

• 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix)

• ½ cup cream cheese, softened

• ½ cup heavy cream

• ½ tsp salt (optional, depending on bacon)

• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional if not strict carnivore)

• Optional garnish: more shredded cheese or bacon on top

🔧 Instructions

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

2. Cook the Bacon
   In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and chop. Reserve a tablespoon of bacon fat if desired.

3. Mix the Sauce
   In a mixing bowl, whisk together:

   • Cream cheese

   • Heavy cream

   • Salt (and garlic powder if using)
     Mix until smooth and creamy.

4. Combine Ingredients
   Add to the bowl:

   • Cooked chicken

   • Chopped bacon (save some for topping)

   • Shredded cheese
     Stir everything together until well combined.

5. Transfer to Baking Dish
   Spoon the mixture into a greased 8×8″ casserole dish (or similar size). Sprinkle with extra cheese and bacon if desired.

6. Bake
   Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until hot and bubbly. For a golden top, broil the last 2–3 minutes.

7. Cool Slightly & Serve
   Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.

🍴 Serving Suggestions

• Serve as-is, or with a side of eggs for brunch.
