Ingredients

  • INGREDIENTS:
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken cutlets (4 ounces each)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 slices lean turkey bacon
  • 4 cups peeled and roughly grated rutabaga
  • 1 tablespoon raw agave nectar
  • 3 packets Stevia

Preparation

Step 1

1. Pre heat broiler.
2. Season each side of the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.
3. Wrap each cutlet with two strips of bacon lengthwise and then fold the bacon under the ends of each cutlet.
4. Place the wrapped cutlets bacon side up on a sheet tray fitted with a wire rack and place under the broiler to brown the bacon and cook the chicken, about 6-8 minutes. Make sure rack is about 10-12 inches below heat source.
5. Meanwhile place the rutabaga in a microwave safe bowl with agave and stevia and cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high until very tender, about 6-8 minutes.
6. Remove the plastic and season with salt.
7. Evenly distribute the rutabaga on four plates, place a chicken breast next to each dollop of rutabaga.

TIPS:
Be careful when opening the plastic wrap from microwaved vegetables, it will let out a very hot burst of steam.
