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!

Hi Ester,
Lovely dish, I added a little bit more garlic and added thyme which just gave it a bit more flavour that I enjoy. Thank you, will be making again

The modifications you make sound wonderful! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! 🙂 Warmly, Ester
Absolutely love this dish. But, you didn’t mention if I need to drain the oil or cook with it? Last time I made it with sun dried tomato pesto. But this time I’m cooking it with tomatoes in oil so I am curious…

HI Kristina,
Im so glad you enjoyed this dish! I drain the oil! Sorry I forgot to mention that! Sun dried tomato pesto sounds delicious! I have never tried that! Where can I find that? Warmly, Ester
Thank you, Ester, I actually just finished cooking and I didn’t drain tomatoes. Oops! Lol
It turned out good anyways. The pesto I mentioned was Sun dried tomato pesto with whole pine nuts by Bella Sun Luci
