We propose a new method of solving a class of mean-field (MF) models, which is based on the Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) principle with additional constraints included. Next, we show equivalence of our method when applied to the Gutzwiller approximation (GA), with the mean-field slave-boson (SB) formalism (on the example of the single-band Hubbard model). This equivalence provides thus an alternative justification of the results obtained within the SB approach which, however, contains ad hoc assumptions to position it in agreement with GA. Our approach implies that all predictions of the MF SB method can be obtained in a simpler, transparent, and controllable manner within GA when supplemented with the statistical-consistency conditions. We call the method as the Statistically-consistent Gutzwiller Approximation (SGA). Explicitly, the present formulation does not require introducing the condensed amplitudes of auxiliary Bose fields, which do not have a direct physical meaning and do not appear in the present formulation. Although the results of SGA are in the present case equivalent to SB, one can improve them further by utilizing more advanced schemes of calculating averages beyond the standard GA. To illustrate our approach, as well as to outline its advantages over alternative treatments of GA, we select the case of almost localized Fermi liquid (ALFL) in two dimensions and analyze it in detail within the tight-binding approximation. We also comment on significance of our method for describing correlated fermions. Namely, the reasoning used here can be applied to the corresponding MF treatment of the multiband Hubbard, the periodic Anderson, the $t-J$, and the $t-J-U$ models. In this manner our method may be applied for strongly correlated electron systems, optical lattices, and other related situations.
