Crispy Chicken Treats

Ingredients

4 servings

2 slices bacon coarse salt and ground black pepper to taste 1 avocado 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tomato, chopped 1 onion, chopped 2 lettuce leaves, or as needed

Instructions

Step 1

Start by cooking the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Flip it every now and then until it’s nicely browned and crispy, which should take about 10 minutes. Once done, transfer the bacon to some paper towels to drain, but keep the bacon grease in the pan.

Step 2

Next, add the chicken to the skillet and toss it around to coat it in that flavorful bacon fat. Season with a bit of salt and pepper, and cook until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 3

While the chicken cooks, mash the avocado in a bowl. Mix in some lemon juice, a little garlic, salt, and pepper to brighten it up. Then stir in some chopped tomato and onion to your liking.

Step 4

To serve, spread the avocado mixture onto lettuce leaves, then top with the cooked chicken and crispy bacon. Wrap them up and enjoy!

Storage Tips
