Creamy Carnivore Salmon Cream Cheese Loaded Chicken Salad Recipe
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
1 can (5–6 oz) salmon, drained and flaked, or 1 cup cooked salmon
4 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp sour cream
1 tbsp melted butter, cooled slightly
½ tsp salt, or to taste
¼ tsp black pepper (optional)
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
For a stricter carnivore-style version, use plain chicken, salmon, cream cheese, butter, and salt. Omit mayonnaise, sour cream, black pepper, and garlic powder if they don't fit your preferred approach.
Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken:
Cook the chicken breast if it isn't already prepared. Allow it to cool, then shred it into small pieces using two forks. You can also use leftover cooked chicken.
2. Prepare the Salmon:
Drain the canned salmon thoroughly and remove any large bones or skin if desired. Flake the salmon with a fork. If using fresh salmon, cook it thoroughly, cool it, and break it into bite-sized flakes.
3. Make the Creamy Base:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and cooled melted butter. Mix until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the Seasonings:
Stir in the salt, optional black pepper, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
5. Fold in the Protein:
Add the shredded chicken and flaked salmon to the cream cheese mixture. Fold gently until everything is evenly coated.
