Bacon Wrapped Chicken
ingredients
8-10 pieces, boneless, skinless chicken thighs
8-10 slices, uncured bacon
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large purple onion, cut into chunks
1 tablespoon coconut sugar
1 tablespoon black pepper
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
optional garnish: fresh thyme leaves or chopped fresh rosemary
directions
preheat oven to 425.
mix coconut sugar, black pepper, salt, ground mustard & garlic powder together in a small bowl.
rub the spice mixture all over the chicken thighs. wrap 1 piece of bacon around each chicken thigh & secure in place with a wooden toothpick.
in a large cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat & sauté the onion until soft. remove the onions from the pan, reserving as much oil as possible.
place the bacon wrapped chicken pieces in the skillet {working in batches if necessary so as not to overcrowd the pan} & brown on each side about 3 minutes, until the bacon begins to get crisp.
once all the chicken pieces have been browned, place all chicken in skillet, cover with sautéed onions & place in oven, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
serve chicken with pieces of onion & pan juices & sprinkle with fresh thyme or rosemary.
