Healthy Chicken, Apple, Bacon Kale Salad Recipe

Ingredients :

salad:

• 4 cups kale chopped
• 2 cups brussels sprouts shredded
• 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil plus sea salt, for kale
• 2 med yellow onions thinly sliced
• 3 Tbsp coconut oil refined, or avocado oil
• Sea salt for the onions
• 1 lb chicken breasts pounded to 1/2” thickness
• Sea salt + pepper for chicken
• 7 slices nitrate free bacon try to go for thicker slices, cut into pieces

hot bacon dressing:

• 1/4 cup bacon fat rendered from cooking your bacon
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 3 Tbsp raw apple cider vinegar
• 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup – or date paste for Whole30. Stevia can be used for keto*
• 1 Tbsp mustard I used stone ground
• 1/4 tsp sea salt or to taste
• 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste

Instructions :

• First, the onions should be caramelized. Put three tablespoons of coconut oil into a large skillet and heat it over medium-low heat. Include sliced onions, mix to coat, and then sprinkle with a little bit of salt from the sea.
• Cook, stirring as needed, for twenty-five to thirty minutes, reducing the heat or adding a little bit more coconut oil as necessary to prevent the mixture from burning. When the onions have reached a beautiful golden brown color and a strong aroma, they are ready to be used.
• During this time, prepare the chicken. To prepare a skillet, drizzle it with oil and heat it to medium-high (make adjustments as necessary).
• After seasoning both sides of the chicken breast with salt and pepper, place it on the grill and cook it for four to five minutes on each side, or until the juices run clear and the meat is no longer pink on the inside. Wrapped in aluminum foil, save aside for later use.
• Turn the heat up to medium and add the slices of bacon. Cook until crisp, stirring regularly, and then remove with a slotted spoon to drain on paper towel after using the slotted spoon. Have all of the bacon fat set aside.

Recipe Notes :

• Add the stevia at the very end, and adjust the taste to your liking, if you are using it as a sweetener.
• In order to determine the nutritional value of the dressing, maple syrup is used as a sweetener.
