I have been trying out some new recipes and thought I’d share one that literally just made last night! My good friend Ann has been doing rounds of Whole30 for over a year now and has nothing but amazing things to say. I have yet to bite that bullet, but I am playing around with the meals and food concepts a bit, especially since I have given up Gluten and am really trying to just eat real foods. I also like to keep things simple around here as well as versatile.
This meal was SUPER easy delicious; I only wish that I made more! Depending how you eat/serve, it can be Paleo or Whole30.
You will need:
Bacon (ideally Whole30 approved, mine was not #oops)
Cherry tomatoes
Chicken breasts
Lettuce
Compliant mayo (I actually used Primal Kitchen Ranch)
Sheet pans
Instructions:
Pre-Heat the oven to 400 degrees
Cut bacon into small pieces, place on one sheet. (Use kitchen scissors!)
Arrange chicken and tomatoes on another – salt and pepper
Bake for 25 minutes — I watched the bacon and took some out a few minutes before the timer went off, as I don’t like it too burnt/crispy.
I ate mine over a big salad w/ the Primal Kitchen Ranch.
I actually served my kiddos this as a traditional BLT — I toasted bread, used mayo and shredded the chicken, added lettuce and tomato and of course they went nuts for bacon. At first Bradley gave it a thumbs down, but I told him this was dinner, he was welcome to pick it a part and eat what he wanted but this was it. A few minutes later he told me he was kidding and that he liked it—kids! I will say he took the tomatoes out.
Joe just had his with real Ranch dressing, no salad and no toast. I bet I could have stirred it up in a pasta and he would have enjoyed it as well!
No leftovers and no complaints = winning!
Let me know if you try it!
