Bacon-Wrapped-Chicken, anyone?

Hello there, ladies and gents.

So here's what when down for dinner today. I started by making my salad dressing (essentially a compote.)

Salad Dressing
 Dressing Ingredients:
-1/4 cup of butter
- 1 sliced apple (with peel)
- 2 cups of strawberry
- 3 tsp. of cinnamon

Heat the butter on medium heat in a pot, add the apple slices and let them cook a bit, till they're soft. Add in strawberries (fresh or frozen) and cinnamon. Keep cooking it until it's reduced to a thick liquid. It will smell delicious, but you must refrain from eating it till dinner. Honestly it's tasty enough to be a dessert.

I don't really like salad, so I made a bomb dressing to go on top. It definitely worked.

As for the salad that it was on....it had mixed greens, mushrooms, and macadamia nuts.

Then I made the chicken. Preset the oven to 400 degrees farenheit.
I bought boneless, skinless, organic chicken thighs, they got the the job done. The meat package said they would cook in 20 minutes which definitely wasn't enough. So just  cut one of the chicken thighs in half when you think they're done, if it's nice and white on the inside it's done. If it's pink you may want to put in the oven for longer to avoid salmonella poisoning (unless you're into eating raw chicken.)

So first I coated the chicken in the following spices:
- BBQ chicken spice (I don't know what it is, it's in the spice drawer)
- Italian Seasoning
-Oregano
-Dill weed

Put the spices in equal portions, about half a cup of the mixture is plenty to coat the chicken. After our chicken is nice and flavourful, we wrap it in BACON! Bacon makes everything better. After you put the chicken in the pan with some chopped onions (spanish or yellow.) Bake it until it's done.
Cooked chicken wrapped in bacon with onions.
 And voila, here is the final product. I'm not a good photographer, the camera doesn't do it justice.
Dinner! Om nom nom nom.


It was so yummy! I can't wait to cook even more :)

Salut!
