Ingredients
  

  • 1 pomegranate
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 1 Tbsp raw honey
  • 2 chicken breasts (or 1 large)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)

Instructions

  1. Heat avocado oil in a skillet on medium heat
  2. Dice up onion into fine pieces and cut up the pomegranate. Add both to the skillet.
  3. Add honey to the mixture and cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  4. During this time, butterfly each chicken breast by making a horizontal cut almost through the breast so it'll open and lay flat. Set aside.
  5. In a small bowl combine salt, pepper, and garlic. Use this seasoning mix to season both sides of each chicken breast until it's all used up. Set aside.
  6. Once the pomegranates and onions have cooked for 2-3 minutes, move them with a spatula to the outsides of the pan.
  7. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes on medium heat.
  8. Flip chicken and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes or until fully cooked.
  9. Serve with pomegranates and onions on top of chicken breasts and enjoy.
