Carnivore One Pan Creamy Chicken Recipe

Carnivore One Pan Creamy Chicken Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts, if preferred)

• 2 tablespoons butter (or tallow)

• 1/2 cup heavy cream (for the creamy sauce)

• 1/4 cup chicken broth (optional, for more liquid)

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional, as some carnivores avoid garlic, but it’s great for flavor)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary (optional, for added flavor)

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil or extra butter for cooking the chicken

Instructions:

1. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken thighs (or breasts) with salt and pepper on both sides. If you’re using garlic and herbs, you can rub the chicken with a bit of minced garlic or sprinkle some fresh thyme or rosemary on top for added flavor.

2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken to the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

3. Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same pan, add the butter (if needed) and allow it to melt. If you’re using garlic, sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant (skip this step for a more strict carnivore version).

   Add the heavy cream to the pan, stirring to combine with the browned bits left from the chicken. Bring it to a simmer and let it reduce slightly for 2-3 minutes. If you’re using chicken broth, add it now and stir to create a creamy sauce.

4. Add Cheese (Optional): Stir in the Parmesan cheese if you’re including it, allowing it to melt into the sauce for extra richness and flavor. You can also season the sauce with more salt and pepper if needed.

5. Return Chicken to the Pan: Place the cooked chicken back into the pan with the creamy sauce. Spoon some sauce over the chicken and let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the chicken is heated through and fully coated in the sauce.

6. Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs (optional), and serve the chicken with the creamy sauce on top. You can enjoy it as-is, or pair it with a side of carnivore-friendly veggies like sautéed mushrooms or roasted cauliflower.
