So many people out there are eating primal and/or paleo. I have lost a significant amount of weight by following the primal way of eating.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 teaspoon butter
2 (3 1/2) pound whole chickens
6 slices ham
6 slices Swiss cheese
ΒΌ cup almond meal
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
  • Cut chickens into wings, drumsticks, thighs, and breast portions. Split breasts down the middle and debone the 4 breast halves. Pound breasts to about 1/4-inch thickness. Place chicken drumsticks, thighs, and wings into prepared baking dish in a single layer, placing chicken pieces as close together as possible. Layer ham, then Swiss cheese over the chicken legs, thighs, and wings. Lay the breasts on top.
  • Mix together almond meal and olive oil in a bowl until crumbly. Sprinkle mixture over top of breasts.
  • Bake in oven until a thermometer reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) in the center of the the thickest part of a thigh, about 1 hour.
