Did someone say 'bacon'?

From Jen's Gone Paleo:

Serves 2!

Bacon-Wrapped Chicken

Ingredients:

1- 12oz. Chicken Breast (Boneless, Skinless)

4 Pieces Applewood Smoked Bacon

1. With the smooth side of the breast facing up, and beginning at a point under the breast to hold the bacon in place, wrap a bacon slice around the breast in a spiral. Continue with the remaining bacon slices, until completely wrapped.
2. Wrap, tightly, with saran wrap and refrigerate, at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 400F.
   Heat a nonstick ovenproof fry pan over medium heat. Add the chicken breast, smooth side up, and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Turn the breasts over and cook until the other sides are lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Turn the breasts smooth side up and transfer the pan to the oven.
4. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast meat registers 165°F and the bacon is browned, about 20 minutes.
5. Remove pan from oven and set aside, to rest, for 5 minutes.

Didn't get a chance to try this on my own but it seems simple enough. Just two ingredients! Easy peasy. Another recipe that is bacon-wrapped, here.

The FCF Paleo Challengers are well into the 3rd week of the month. Keep it up everyone! Can't wait to read, hear, & see your results! Sometimes I wonder why I had never heard of this 'caveman diet' before CrossFit. It just seems like an easy, healthy, simple way of eating - yet I had no idea that I did eat a lot of processed (packaged) foods while growing up (maybe you can relate; handi-snacks, gushers, go-gurt, hot pockets, fruit roll ups, foot-by-the-fruit, graham crackers.......).

When I have had conversations with people who have tried eating Paleo but didn't stick to it, I asked why they had stopped or why it didn't work out for them some answered "it's too hard for me" / "I don't have time to cook/prepare." Is it really hard to prepare and cook ourselves or are we too accustomed to having our food prepared FOR us? This TLSP article provides a simple equation: 1 protein, 2 veggies, 1 fat in a skillet = eating Paleo. Seems easy enough for me. Share the wealth, tell people about this way of eating - leave the word Paleo out of it and just explain the simplicity of it and how they'll benefit from it. A simple adjustment may make the difference.
