Honey Glazed Bacon Chicken

A few months ago, I stumbled on this recipe for honey glazed chicken.  It was amazing, and even my kids ate it up.  The recipe linked fits the definition of primal, however I have tweaked it just a bit more to better suit my family's tastes and needs.  Here's how I make it.

Ingredients: 

1 package or organic boneless skinless chicken thighs (usually comes with about 5-6 thighs)
1 package of bacon at your disposal
2 tbsp honey
1/2 organic onion
4 oz. mushrooms
4 cloves of garlic
2 tsp coarse mustard
1 tsp turmeric
3 tbsp butter (sliced)
fresh lemon juice from 1/2 lemon
salt and pepper to taste


Directions:


1.  Put 3 slices of butter in your baking dish.


2. Cut the chicken thighs in half, in strips.  Wrap your chicken strips carefully in the bacon.  Having a whole package at your disposal is definitely helpful.  Depending on the size of your strips, you can cut your bacon in half, or lengthways to get the most out of your bacon.  The more generous you are with the bacon here...the better the rewards.  Line them up in a baking dish.

3. After you've wrapped your lovelies, cut up your veggies.  These are to taste, feel free to skip veggies if you'd prefer.  I think it makes for a more rounded meal with them.  Fill in gaps between your chicken strips in the baking dish with your cut up veggies.

4.  In a separate bowl, add your honey, lemon juice, and spices.  Blend them throughly, then drizzle them in your baking dish on everything.

5.  Bake on 400 for 15 minutes.  Flip these puppies over and spread juices and any leftover honey, lemon mix on them.  Then bake for another 15 minutes.

6.  Enjoy!
