I’ve made this twice with slight variations and both times my family scraped the bowl. Delicious! The broth really makes the sauce creamy. Who would have known!

Great recipe as is! Hearty & filling. Since I am doing more protein so made a few mods the 2nd time around - this is very similar to a recipe I use for cream sauce: + Increased chicken to 1.5 lb - No need for adding oil to a pan when cooking bacon (I used pre-cooked that was well drained of the grease) - Substituted ricotta for cream cheese + Added 1T nutritional yeast into sauce + Use bone broth which does have a higher protein (& fat) content

This recipe is very good, I used block cream cheese, and added mushrooms. My only criticism with this recipe is the servings. It is 6 servings, all day long, not 4. If I personally ate a portion of "4" servings, I wouldnt be able to move. The recipe allows you to change and save the amount of servings, but lies to you and won't save it as 6.

Delicious! I omitted the chicken and substituted it with fresh zucchini. Also, used garlic powder as a seasoning for veggies. Tastes very good! The bacon bits on top gave it a nice touch. I’m not sure how to change the ingredients so that my macros reflect changes I made.

Delicious. I used onion and chive cream cheese spread. I added package of ranch seasoning. Also mushrooms as recommended. I omitted nutmeg.

Tasty, filling and easy to make. When browning the chicken I would make sure I drained the water, and add a little butter to brown the chicken a bit more? Also keep forgetting to add salt & pepper!! Also the sauce was a little runny, need to work out how to thicken it?

Also make sure to let sauce heat long enough to reduce, and to drain cauliflower really well before adding the rest of the ingredients.

I used 2 teaspoons of Xanthum Gum to thicken this sauce - works well.

I made this and it was delicious. I also cooked bacon first then chicken as someone recommended. I used jalapeño cream cheese spread and added another cup of cheese. Will definitely make again.

This was really good! I changed it slightly. I cooked the bacon first, then the chicken in the same pan, then a small onion. I only had a whipped garlic and herb cream cheese so that's what I was using. I didn't use nutmeg since I used the garlic and herb cream cheese. I baked it at 380 then broiled it to brown the cheese on top. My husband loved it! Said he can eat this on a regular.

That is per serving. Comes from the cheeses. 😁

I only had broccoli. Do you know how the macros are impacted by the change of veggies?

This is delicous! The sauce and bacon result in a Carbonara flavor experience. A real hit with my husband who misses pasta.
