Paleo Bacon and Asparagus Stuffed Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup chopped macadamia nuts

½ cup mayonnaise

1 lemon

zested

2 teaspoons dried sage

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

½ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

or as needed

6 slices bacon

or to taste

16 fresh asparagus

trimmed

4 skinless

boneless chicken breast halves

4 slices provolone cheese

Meat and Poultry

Directions

Step 1

Mix macadamia nuts mayonnaise lemon sage black pepper and salt in a bowl until well combined.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Grease a baking dish with oil.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add bacon and cook turning occasionally until crispy about 10 minutes. Leave as much bacon fat in the pan as desired and drain bacon slices on paper towels.

Step 4

Place asparagus in the skillet and cook in the bacon fat until bright green and nearly tender 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 5

Place 1 chicken breast in a resealable plastic bag on a cutting board. Pound chicken firmly with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Repeat with the rest of the chicken breasts.

Step 6

Place provolone cheese and 1 to 2 slices bacon on each chicken breast; divide asparagus spears equally over the breasts. Roll chicken around the bacon and asparagus; place seams down in the prepared baking pan. Coat with mayonnaise-nut mixture.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until crumbs are browned and chicken juices run clear about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
