I was searching on Pinterest for yummy one-pot meals to make and was inspired by a Creamy Maple Chicken w/Bacon Recipe by Wholesomelicious.  I slightly tweaked her recipe to make it my own by replacing the maple syrup with honey, leeks with onions and adding sun-dried tomatoes.  I think you would also like her original recipe, it's Paleo friendly.

This recipe would go perfect over my Gluten free Pasta Recipe for an extra special meal.  My pasta is made with simply blanched almond flour, tapioca flour, eggs and salt.  My husband had the same thought as we were eating this!  He said, "Oh, this would go so good over your pasta!"

You can find this updated the recipe called Paleo Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce

What I like about this recipe is that it is a one-pot meal and you can make it in 35 minutes or less.  If you are using chicken tenders, then you can probably have this ready in 25 minutes!  Now that my kiddos are back in school, I want to be as efficient as I can in the kitchen.  There is a lot of homework to get done and being in the kitchen for longer than 30 minutes is a luxury that can only be left for the weekend!  If you have kids, I am sure you can relate!  Fast, healthy and flavorful meals in 35 minutes or less are a lifesaver!  Especially those that you can walk away from so you can set the table or get dishes done!

Simple Steps for making: Paleo Honey Dijon Chicken with Bacon, Mushrooms & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

To make this meal, you will need to heat a large saucepan to medium heat.  Thinly slice your bacon and saute for 5 minutes or until crispy.  Remove your bacon and set it aside for garnishing your meal at the end.

Stir ingredients together and then add your chicken.  Coat your chicken in the sauce and bring to a boil.  Once it reaches a boil, reduce to a medium simmer.  Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, flip your chicken over and simmer another 10 minutes.

You can check your chicken in the center with a knife to make sure its fully cooked.  Depending on the thickness of your chicken, it will ready between 15-20 minutes, keep an eye on it so it does not over-cook.

Once your chicken is cooked through, you can season with salt & pepper to your liking and garnish with bacon and freshly chopped parsley.
