Day 9 - Stuffed Chicken

For dinner tonight we had Bacon and Asparagus Stuffed Chicken. Although it was good, I wish I would have researched what others had done with the recipe to improve it. We all enjoyed it (even the kids) but Mitch said that he missed something oozing from the center. I guess when we have had stuffed chicken in the past it has had cheese in the middle that oozes out with every bite. After perusing the internet, I found that some people also used a paleo BBQ sauce to add a little zing to this recipe. I think that would be perfect and a great compliment to the bacon! So, we will for sure have this one again, just adding a little sauce to it.

Ingredients:
4 boneless chicken breasts, butterflied
16 asparagus stalks
4 slices of organic bacon, cooked
4 tbsp. grass-fed organic butter (or olive oil)
Sea Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:
Preheat Oven to 350. Blanch asparagus for i minute in boiling water, remove and set aside.
Open up the butterflied chicken breast and place in each breast 1 tbsp butter or olive oil, 4 asparagus stalks, and 1 piece of bacon.
Pull the 2 sides of the chicken breast together to enclose your stuffing and secure with toothpicks
Sprinkle the outside of the chicken breast with sea salt and pepper and place in a glass baking dish lightly greased with olive oil.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked all the way through.
Enjoy!
