Directions

Cook bacon until crisp. Brown chicken in bacon grease and drain. Pour off all but a couple tablespoons of fat. Add a little bit of chicken broth to deglaze the pan and add a little lemon juice to pan juices. Add meats back in and then add cream mixture.

Mix together eggs, cream and cheese. Slowly whisk cream mixture into meat mixture and heat being careful NOT to let the eggs curdle or scramble.

Can add peas, mushrooms or asparagus or whatever. Can serve with spaghetti or other pasta or over julienne zucchini for a low carb option.
