1tspOlive oil
1Headof garlic
2Chicken breasts(4oz each)
2SlicesWhole30 compliant bacon
For the salsa:
1/2An avocado,diced
1/4CupTomato,diced
3TbspRed onion,diced
2TbspsGreen onion,sliced
1tspWhite wine vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel away the extra, papery skin from the garlic and cut off the end, leaving the garlic head intact, but the tips exposed.
Drizzle with the olive oil, rubbing it into the garlic, and wrap tightly. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the cloves are soft.
Once the garlic is done, take it out of the tinfoil and squeeze half of cloves out of its skin and put them in a small bowl.
Mash the garlic up into a paste, and spread it evenly on top of each chicken breast. Save the rest of the garlic for something else!
Take one piece of bacon and wrap it around a chicken breast. Repeat with the additional breast.
Place a cooling rack on top of a tinfoil-lined cookie sheet and place the chicken breasts on the cooling rack. Bake until the chicken is 165 degrees F and the bacon is crispy, about 25-30 mins. Then turn your oven to HIGH broil and cook until the bacon is very crispy 2-5 minutes. Watch closely as it can burn fast!
While the chicken bakes, mix all the salsa ingredients and season to taste with salt and pepper.
When the chicken is cooked, divide the avocado salsa evenly on top of each breast and DEVOUR!
