What better words to describe a winter family dinner than  . . . warm, hearty, cast iron, and BACON!
This is where comfort food and healthy food merge. It’s a heavier dish with bacon and chicken thighs, so you don’t need a bunch of extra sides to make a meal. A light side salad is plenty!
It’s perfect for those looking for lower carb or higher fat options. You could sub turkey bacon and chicken breasts if your body doesn’t run optimally on fats, but you will sacrifice some flavor. Personally, I have a high sensitivity to fats so I just choose to have a smaller portion and keep all the flavor with a larger salad.
