Well now, here’s another paleo chicken recipe. I have to confess that I like chicken. If I had to choose only one meat to eat though, I’d choose lamb although chicken would come a close second.
When I’m looking for recipes to to try and possibly adapt for the paleo diet, I go to all of my resources including books that I haven’t looked at in years. Sometimes the perfect recipe is right there.
This recipe came into play because it seems that every time I go to the market I see containers with the cherry tomatoes and I always wind up getting one. Then I get home and wonder what to do with all of them. This Baked Chicken with Cherry Tomatoes and Garlic is perfect for just this occasion.
And I had to add garlic to this recipe … of course!
All of the mixed ingredients will be added to a greased glass casserole dish.
The garlic will roast quite well and the cherry tomatoes will shrivel a bit.
And the result will be awesome!
I served this entree with a broccoli/zucchini stir fry and a half an avocado.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
