Carnivore-Style Chicken Parmesan Bowl
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or tenderloins)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese (instead of cottage cheese)
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella (optional)
- 2 tbsp bone broth or beef/chicken fat (instead of marinara sauce)
- Italian seasonings (optional, or use only salt and pepper for strict carnivore)
- Extra virgin olive oil (or beef tallow for a more carnivore-friendly option)
- Garlic powder, onion powder, pink Himalayan salt, black pepper (optional, but minimal for strict carnivore)
Instructions:
-
Cook the chicken: Heat beef tallow or olive oil in a pan and cook the chicken tenderloins with salt, pepper, and Italian seasonings (if desired) until golden and fully cooked. Let the chicken cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
-
Prepare the bowl: In a bowl, place the cream cheese (you can microwave it to soften) and add the cooked chicken pieces.
-
Add the fat: Pour bone broth or drizzle beef fat over the chicken and cream cheese mixture to create a rich, savory base.
-
Top with mozzarella (optional): If you’re using mozzarella, sprinkle it over the top and microwave for about 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
-
Serve: Stir everything together and enjoy your carnivore-friendly, high-protein meal!
This version keeps the high-protein, comforting essence of the original recipe while sticking to a more carnivore approach!
