This is a super easy,

relatively healthy
(cough cough bacon)

meal to throw together on the quick.

This recipe is from a food blog called paleomg.com.
Love this blogger's writing style and her dishes!


There's only THREE ingredients!!!! Not including salt and pepper of course, that would be like five ingredients then.


Keep in mind, this recipe is for 1 serving!!! Double, triple, fourple the recipe if necessary.
Definition: Fourple. Meaning four times the amount. Cited from Pretend Word Dictionary.
Easy Bacon Chicken Bowl
From www.paleomg.com food blog, check this paleo blog out, fantastic recipes!

Prep time:  25 mins
Cook time:  12 mins
Total time:  37 mins
Serves: 1



Remember, this recipe serves 1, if you need to, double or triple it.
Ingredients
    ½ sweet potato or yam, cut lengthwise
    1 chicken thigh, excess fat removed
    2 slices of bacon
    salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    Place your halved sweet potato cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until your sweet potato is soft to the touch.
    When your sweet potato has about 6-8 minutes left to cook, place a medium skillet over medium heat.
    Add your two slices of bacon.
    Salt and pepper both sides of your chicken thigh.
    As soon as some of the fat begins to render in your pan, push the bacon to one side and place your chicken thigh into the bacon fat.
    Cook chicken and bacon on one side for about 4-5 minutes, then flip.
    Your bacon will cook a bit faster, so once it is done, place your sweet potato in a bowl and top it with bacon.
    To finish the chicken thigh through, add a tablespoon of water and cover for about 3-5 minutes or until cooked through. Do what I do, check before you much.
    Add chicken thigh to your bowl.
    Last but not least, grab a fork and knife and cut it all up. Mix it all together.
    Top with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Okay,
so here's the fixins for this Easy Chicken Bacon Bowl.


Not many ingredients eh?








Picture



So halve the potatoes lengthwise.












Picture




Flip them over and cook until soft...about 30 minutes.













Picture




Now start frying the bacon in the pan...









Picture
After about 6 or 7 minutes,
move the bacon to the side.


But WHY?????!!!!!
WHY IS THE BACON BEING DISPLACED???!!!
What did the bacon ever do other than provide kindness and goodness to gazillons of people's stomachs??????







Picture
Oh.


There needs to be room for the chicken thighs?

Hmmm.


Logical enough.



Okay then.






By the way, the recipe calls for skinless, BONE-IN thighs, but I used boneless, skinless thighs.

Picture


So flip the thighs over and cook the other side.

Continue to cook the displaced bacon.









Picture


Lookin' good and lookin' done and everybody is all accounted for and nobody is homeless or displaced.

YAY!







Picture


Oh hellooooooo draining bacon.










Picture




And hello thighs that are fully cooked and plattered up.












Picture
Sweet potatoes!

You are done too!

Awesome!










Picture

Well, let's get everybody chopped up and together here!

The thigh meat



on top of the bacon


on top of the sweet potato!










Picture
This is not a fancy dish but it is tasty.

Except I have to admit, that I needed two chicken thighs to fill up with the bacon and sweet potato.




Hello lovely!!
Picture



Picture
What'R ya waiting for?
Grab a fork and eat up!

Simple.

Quick.

Relatively healthy, OH, I imagine turkey bacon might work with olive oil too...hmmm maybe I'll try that next time.





Okay, that's all I have for today girls and guys!
Wanna show you this picture though...
