I'm back! After a quick little getaway to Sweden, where we had all kinds of yummy things, I am now back to continue with the challenge for another two weeks. Today I made a recipe from the Paleo Diet Recipe book again (this is where I find most of my inspiration). I modified it a little bit myself.
Ingredients
(serves 2)
2 large chicken breast fillets; cut in half to make slightly smaller pieces
2 large leeks; sliced
olive oil
thyme (fresh or dried)
butter
7 slices of bacon
salt and pepper
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. In a bowl, place the chicken breasts, the leek slices, thyme, a few knobs of butter, a splash olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Mix everything together well. Line the bottom of a baking dish with a sheet of aluminium paper that’s a bit larger than the dish, to get some loose ends. Place the leek mixture on the bottom of the dish. Wrap each chicken breast in 2 slices of bacon, or as many slices so it covers the chicken fillet. Place the chicken on top of the leeks. Pour some more olive oil and knobs of butter here and there and place some thyme on top. Close up the loose ends of the aluminium paper over the uncovered leeks and chicken so they don’t burn. Cook in the middle of the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, then take off the top parts of the aluminium paper and turn the oven on grill mode. Cook for another 5 minutes or until the chicken is wellcooked. Serve with a nice fresh salad.
