Carnivore Greek Chicken Stew (Stovetop Version)
This hearty carnivore-friendly take on Greek chicken stew delivers tender chicken simmered in a rich, savory broth infused with tangy dairy and deep umami flavors — no vegetables or plant-based seasonings required. Inspired by Mediterranean comfort food, it uses only animal-based ingredients while still capturing the warmth and satisfaction of a classic Greek-style dish.
Ingredients
Instructions
STEP 1: Sauté the Chicken
-
Heat butter or ghee in a large pot over medium heat.
-
Season chicken with sea salt and place skin-side down in the pot.
-
Brown for 8 minutes per side, then remove and set aside.
STEP 2: Slow Cook
-
Pour chicken bone broth into the pot, scraping up any browned bits.
-
Return chicken to the pot, skin-side up.
-
Cover and simmer gently for 45–50 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and tender.
STEP 3: Make the Egg-Cream Mixture
-
While the chicken cooks, whisk egg yolks in a medium bowl.
-
Whisk in heavy cream or yogurt until smooth.
-
Ladle in ½ cup of the hot broth from the pot very slowly, whisking constantly to temper the eggs so they don’t scramble.
STEP 4: Finish
-
Reduce heat to low.
-
Slowly stir the tempered egg-cream mixture back into the pot.
-
Gently stir until the broth turns creamy — do not boil once the eggs are added.
-
Adjust salt to taste.
-
Ladle stew into bowls, ensuring each serving has tender chicken pieces.
-
Garnish with crumbled feta and/or parmesan if desired.
