Below are all the ingredients you'll need to make this chicken Alfredo carnivore casserole. Note that the full printable recipe card is at the bottom of the page.

• Chicken Breasts (boneless, skinless)
  This is are the main protein source in the dish. Slicing them horizontally helps them cook faster and more evenly.
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• Unsalted Butter
  Used to sear the chicken and create a rich base for the sauce. Using unsalted butter allows you to control the salt levels more precisely.
• Chicken Stock (low sodium)
  Deglazes the pan after searing the chicken, pulling up all the flavorful bits. It also adds body to the sauce without making it too heavy.
• Heavy Cream
  The star of the gluten-free Alfredo sauce, heavy cream creates a rich and velvety texture that clings beautifully to the chicken.
• Parmesan Cheese (grated)
  Adds a nutty, salty flavor and helps thicken the sauce naturally as it melts into the cream.
• Italian Spices (optional)
  A blend of herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme that can add a subtle aromatic layer to the sauce if desired. Ideal for those who are not strict carnivores.
  

How To Make A Carnivore Chicken Alfredo

To start, slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets, then season both sides with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and brown the chicken in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Cook each piece for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through.

Once all the chicken is done, transfer it to a plate and set it aside. In the same skillet, pour in the chicken stock to deglaze the pan, using a spatula to scrape up any flavorful browned bits stuck to the bottom.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese.

Let the sauce simmer gently for a few minutes until it begins to thicken, then season with Italian spices if using.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce, and let everything simmer together for a few more minutes so the flavors can meld. Once the sauce is rich and creamy, it's ready to serve.

Storage Tips

This dish keeps well in the fridge for up to three days in an airtight container. You can also freeze portions for up to three weeks.

Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of cream or stock to revive the sauce.

Notes and Variations

• Prefer chicken thighs? Go for it. Just flatten them slightly with a meat mallet for even cooking.
• Not strict carnivore? Add the Italian spices and garnish with fresh parsley.
• Want more texture? Add crispy bacon bits as garnish.
