Carnivore Mayo Parmesan Chicken

This easy, flavorful chicken dish combines mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese to create a creamy, crispy, and indulgent meal perfect for the strict carnivore diet. It’s simple to make and packed with protein and fat for ultimate satiety.

Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless, or leave the skin on for added fat and flavor)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (preferably homemade or made with animal fats)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional, omit for strict carnivore)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter, ghee, or tallow.

2. Prepare the Chicken:

  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season lightly with sea salt (and black pepper, if using).

3. Make the Topping:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese until well combined.

4. Coat the Chicken:

  • Spread the mayo-Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast, creating a thick layer.

5. Bake the Chicken:

  • Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • For a crispy golden topping, turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

6. Serve:

  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with optional carnivore sides like crispy bacon, pork rinds, or a dollop of sour cream.

Tips for Success:

  • Moisture: To keep the chicken juicy, don’t overcook. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
  • Cheese Choice: For added variety, mix Parmesan with another hard cheese like Asiago or Pecorino.
  • Variations: Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a fattier, more flavorful option.

Optional Carnivore Additions:

  • Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese after baking for even more cheesy goodness.
  • Add crumbled cooked bacon to the topping mixture for a smoky flavor.

This Carnivore Mayo Parmesan Chicken is a simple, satisfying, and delicious way to stick to your carnivore diet while enjoying a rich and flavorful meal. 🐓🧈🧀
