Patty Prime’s Legally Required Nonsense Intro

Most recipe blogs would begin like this:

“It was a crisp autumn morning in 2007 when I first discovered chicken while backpacking through a sunflower field…”

Patty Prime would rather lick a salt block than write that.

You’re here because you want:
• chicken
• bacon
• cream
• cheese
• zero emotional baggage

Let’s cook before someone starts describing their aunt’s curtains.

🥘 Golden Cream & Bacon Chicken Bake

Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken (breasts or thighs, boneless)

• 4 slices bacon, chopped

• 1 cup shredded cheddar

• ½ cup chicken broth

• ½ cup heavy cream

• ¼ cup butter or ghee, melted

• Pinch sea salt

• Pinch pepper (optional, carnivore-adjacent)

Instructions

1. Heat things up
   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prep the stars

   Cut chicken into bite-size pieces and season with salt (and pepper if you’re feeling wild).

3. Bacon first, always
   Cook the chopped bacon until crisp. Try not to eat half of it “for quality control.”

4. Layer the chicken
   Spread the chicken evenly in a greased baking dish.

   

5. Make the creamy magic
   In a bowl, whisk together broth, heavy cream, and melted butter.

6. Pour & distribute
   Drizzle that rich mixture over the chicken like you mean it.

7. Add bacon glory
   Scatter the bacon on top.

8. Bake covered
   Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes.

9. Cheese finale
   Remove foil, sprinkle cheddar, and bake 5–10 more minutes until bubbly and golden.

   

10. Rest & respect
    Let it sit a few minutes so it doesn’t attack your tongue.

Bon Appetit — carnivore edition.

Final Word from Patty Prime

If casseroles had a prom king, this one would arrive wearing bacon suspenders and a crown made of cheddar.
