Ingredients
- 2 cups Chopped Cooked Chicken
- 4 Eggs (large)
- 1/2 pound Bacon (chopped, cooked)
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese (shredded) (this cheese is excellent- amazon link)
- 1/4 cup Mayo (my carnivore mayo recipe)
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper, 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder, 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder, 1/4 teaspoon Paprika (omit for strict carnivore)
Instructions
- Start by preheating the oven to 375°F and spraying a 9×13 inch (or similar) pan with cooking spray.
- Spread the cooked and shredded chicken, along with the cooked bacon, in the bottom of the pan. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise, seasonings, and heavy cream.
- Pour the mixture on top of the chicken mixture. You can add more chopped bacon and cheese on top. I also like adding additional chopped shredded chicken on top.
- Bake uncovered for 35 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
Don’t Overcook the Chicken
Cook the chicken only until it’s no longer pink, then add it to the casserole. If it’s already dry, baking will dry it out more. A store-bought rotisserie chicken works well when you’re in a hurry.
Watch the Bake Time
Bake for about 35 minutes, but start checking at 30 because every oven is different. The casserole should look set with a slight wobble in the center and a light golden top. If your oven runs hot, bake it on the middle rack.
Rest Before Serving
Let the casserole sit for 10-15 minutes after it comes out of the oven. This short rest lets the sauce thicken and the flavors settle so each slice keeps its shape instead of running all over the plate.
