Paleo Chicken Skillet
  • Prep time: 10 Minutes
  • Cook time: 20 Minutes
  • Total time: 30 Minutes
  • Serves: 6

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs, chopped
  • 4 rashers of bacon, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 tsp garlic, crushed
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 250 g (8.8 oz) button mushrooms, sliced

  • 2 cups fresh kale, shredded with stems removed

Instructions

  1. In a skillet pan over high heat, fry the bacon until it’s almost crispy.
  2. Add the chicken and cook until browned. Once browned, place the chicken, and bacon to the side.
  3. Add the onion, garlic, mushrooms, and the red bell pepper. Cook until the onion is translucent.
  4. Add the coconut cream, return the chicken, and bacon. Cook for 15 minutes.
  5. Add the kale and cook for a further 5 minutes.
  6. Season with salt & pepper.
  7. Serve & Enjoy.

Recipe Tips

  • If you don’t have any kale, then this can be replaced with baby spinach or just left out altogether.
  • You can swap the chicken thigh for chicken breast, or as I mentioned above, leftover chicken.
  • The bacon can be swapped out for something like prosciutto or even ham.
  • I made use of some simple button mushrooms, but basically, any type of mushroom would work well. Portobello, shiitake, or a mixture of both would all work well in this dish.
