My favorite dinners are quick, easy and of course flavorful!  This one pot meal is filled with all the goods including bacon, caramelized tomatoes and rich pesto.

Ingredients:

• 8oz bacon, diced
• 2 cups white onions, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 lbs ground chicken breast
• 1 tsp salt, divided 
• 1¾lbs cherry tomatoes (I used 3-10oz containers)
• 1-6oz can tomato paste
• 1 cup paleo pesto (I use No Crumbs Left’s recipe)
• ½ cup basil, chopped

Directions:

• In a large saute pan cook bacon.
• Once cooked remove bacon and set aside.  Leave the bacon grease in the pan.
• Add the onions and cook until beginning to caramelize.
• Add garlic and cook until soft.
• Add ground chicken and break up clumps.  Add ½ tsp salt
• Once chicken is cooked through and browned, remove from pan and set aside with bacon.
• Add tomatoes to the pan.  Cover about cook for about 12 minutes until tomatoes soften.
• Stir in tomato paste and ½ tsp salt.  Continue to cook covered for another 10 minutes to allow steam to release from tomatoes.
• Remove lid and use a wooden spoon to crush tomatoes.
• Add pesto to the sauce and mix in.
• Return ground chicken and bacon back to the pan.  Mix to combine.
• Stir in basil and simmer 2-3 minutes.
• Serve and enjoy!
