Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Boneless chicken breasts (preferably organic, grass-fed and soy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons Simply Ghee
  • 1 tablespoon BBQ mesquite seasoning (salt free)
  • 1 tablespoon honey; local if possible
  • 1/2 teaspoon Redmond's Real Salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives (generously use herbs)
  • 1 cup fresh tomatoes – diced chunky

Method
 

  1. Wash the chicken breasts, pat dry and place in a baking dish.
  2. Dice tomatoes and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl blend the Ghee with BBQ mesquite seasoning, honey, unrefined salt and chopped chives. Massage over chicken breasts. Place cut tomatoes around chicken breasts.
  4. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for about 15 minutes. Uncover, baste breasts with pan juices and place back in the oven for at least 10 minutes. Check the inside of chicken to determine it is done – juicy but not pink. Tomatoes will be juicy, creating a light sauce. Let it set for another 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ghee Gal Tip: Fresh basil alone is also perfect with this recipe or add it to the chives.  If using dried herbs it’s best o add them in the beginning of the recipe while fresh herbs fare best added at the end to preserve their flavor.
You can also use mushrooms in addition to or in place of the tomatoes.
Serves two and is yummy with steamed or sautéed green veggies or a baked potato.
