So Laura and I went out the other night with a bunch of girls. A girls night, if you must. We needed to dance. You know, do the usual Friday night cliche act. Get hammered, dance like idiots, sometimes on bars, then stumble our way to a cab and hope we still have our credit card on hand. Well, none of that happened. I was the DD. And none of my friends are that much of a mess. That was a lie.

It was at least fun. I got to watch drunk people try to dance and try to creep. Never a bad thing to witness. Dudes trying to dance on girls is hilarious. Hip thrusting is never sexy. But I guess drunk b*tches don’t know the difference between dancing and humping. So hump on, drunk men and women. Hump on. You entertain me while sober at the bar.

I ended the night by leaving early and eating a couple almond butter stuffed dates. It was stupid delicious. That’s my kind of late night drunk eating. Minus the being drunk part.

I successfully finished a wod today with muscle ups, without even shedding a tear. NBD. No, it’s actually a big deal. As soon as Jason told me I would be doing a wod with muscle ups in it, my heart sank. Doing muscle ups is heart breaking to me. Legit heart breaking. It must have been my PaleOMG black tank that pushed me through the wod. Must have been. Did you know you can buy these sweet ass tanks?! YES YOU CAN!! Just click that link!

My tennis shoes smell so inappropriate.

    People. This is ridiculous. Sooo delicious. I just paired it with a side of sautéed swish chard in coconut oil with garlic, onion and red pepper flakes. WOWOWOWOWOWOOW!! Genius.

    This chicken was AMAZING!! Your recipes make it so easy to eat paleo. Thank you and keep them coming! 🙂

    Thanks, Juli….wonderful! Made it for 30 people; everybody loved it. Baking time for boneless breasts is SOOOO critical, and you hit this one right on the mark…

    HI Juli,

    Recently discovered your blog and am loving all of the recipes! Do you think this dish would work with drumsticks as well? Also..thoughts on using sweet onion instead of shallots? Used my last shallot last night 🙁

    Thank you!

      absolutely!! it just may have a different cooking time

    My friend made this for dinner tonight and it was absolutely delicious! She used dried rosemary instead of fresh (can’t find fresh where we live). I was surprised at how juicy and tender the boneless chicken turned out. I’m definitely saving this recipe and going to make it myself soon!






  8. Rachel says:

    Sorry if this is a silly question….The recipe calls for two large shallots. Just to be clear, the two bulbs inside the shallot “paper” are considered still one shallot, correct? Meaning I need two separate ones so that I’m working with four bulbs?

    1. juli says:

      correct!

  9. kels says:

    What side would you pair this with?

    1. juli says:

      a salad would be great!

    This recipe is fantastic! I made this for dinner tonight except I used dried dates because I couldn’t find fresh ones. It was just as tasty. Five stars from my husband who eats anything. And FIVE stars from my super picky teenage daughter.
