Baked Mustard Chicken

Baked mustard chicken is one of my go-to meals.  This recipe is quite simple to make and it is ready in less than an hour.  Did I mention it is also delicious?  If you think Paleo cooking is hard to achieve, give this recipe a try.  You WILL NOT be disappointed.

•               4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

•               1 medium onion, thickly sliced (about 1/4")

•               1/3 cup yellow mustard (preferably organic)

•               3 large garlic cloves, finely minced

•               1 tbsp garlic powder

•               1 1/2 tbsp onion powder

•               2 tsp lard or bacon fat

•               Salt and pepper to taste

Start off by pre-heating the oven to 400F.  Fillet the chicken breasts and reserve in a separate container.  In a large bowl, combine mustard, finely minced garlic cloves, garlic and onion powder along with salt and pepper to taste.  Mix all ingredients well and place the filleted chicken breasts inside of the bowl with the mustard marinade.  (I would recommend to let the chicken breasts marinade inside the fridge for a few hours, overnight would be even better.) In a baking pan, make a bed for the chicken breasts with the thickly sliced onions, place a dollop of 1/4 tsp of the lard or bacon fat on top of each chicken breast. Place baking pan in the oven for 34-40 minutes.  Of course, time may vary depending on your oven.

I hope you enjoy this recipe, which is only one example of how simple and delicious eating healthy can be.
