Carnivore Loaded Chicken Salad.
Ingredients:
- 2 cooked chicken breasts (grilled, roasted, or pan-seared)
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, depending on how strictly carnivore you are)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (or use full-fat mayo for a thicker dressing)
- 1 tablespoon mustard (optional, depending on taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or ghee (optional, for extra richness)
- 2 boiled eggs (chopped)
- Fresh parsley or chives (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the Chicken:
- If you haven’t already cooked your chicken, you can grill, bake, or pan-sear it. Season with salt and pepper, then slice it into bite-sized pieces or shred it, depending on your preference.
- Prepare the Bacon:
- Cook your bacon in a pan until crispy, then chop it into small pieces.
- Make the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, combine the heavy cream (or mayo), mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth. You can also add a little more mustard or cream based on your flavor preference.
- Assemble the Salad:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, bacon, shredded cheddar cheese (if using), and chopped boiled eggs. Add the butter or ghee for extra richness, if desired.
- Toss it Together:
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything to combine. Make sure all the ingredients are coated well.
- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives, if desired. You can serve this immediately or chill it in the fridge for a bit.
Notes:
- You can customize this recipe by adding other carnivore-friendly ingredients, like beef or lamb, depending on what you have on hand.
- For extra crunch or flavor, you can also add some pork rinds as a topping.
