Recipe for the Day

[Vanniek71]

I eat a 100% paleo diet, but I think this recipe is something all you guys could get behind: (and if you are in to Paleo stuff or eating healthier check out my blog - recipes etc on there http://www.whole360.blogspot.com)

Coconut amino marinated chicken breast topped with bacon onion rings - with a spicy dipping sauce

First - The onion rings



Stuff you need:

• 2 decent sized sweet onions
• 2 lbs of Bacon (I used home cured sugar free bacon, but any works)
• Sriracha sauce or chili paste if you like it spicy, if not BBQ sauce works great
• fresh ground pepper
• toothpicks or skewers

Cut 1-2 large onions in to 1/2"-3/4 inch strips then press out the centers so you have the larger rings

Brush the onion rings with sriracha, hot sauce or bbq sauce of choice

Wrap bacon around the onion rings and pin in place with picks or skewers (larger rings take 3 pieces of bacon - be generous!)

Once wrapped, coat generously with pepper

Toss on preheated grill or smoker at 250 or so degrees (I couldn't wait long enough to smoke them so I grilled mine) I used upper rack so they cooked on indirect heat - this will take anywhere from 90-110 minutes or so. You want to go slow so the onions cook in the bacon grease. They are done when the bacon is nice and crispy. Pull off grill and set aside

Second - marinate 4-5lbs of chicken breasts with a mixture of:

• 1/4 cup of olive oil
• 1/4 cup of Coconut aminos (teriyaki sauce works too for you non Paleo's)
• 1 TBS dried onion powder

I marinated it for 10-15 minutes and then made sure the chicken was well coated before tossing it on the grill


Third - the sauce

Stuff you need:

• 2 TBS of mayo (I make my own Olive oil mayo, but if you are a store bought mayo person, that's fine too)
• 1-2 TBS of Sriracha, chili paste or BBQ sauce (whatever you prefer)
• 1 TBS Lime juice

Combine ingredients well

Fourth - Plate it and inhale

Slice chicken breast and arrange on a plate, or just toss a breast on a plate - top with however many bacon/onion rings you want. Spoon ample dipping sauce over it, and enjoy.
