Instructions

In a large sauce pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Sauté your greens and garlic together. Toss and turn using tongs or a wood spoon until everything is wilted and cooked through. Remove greens to a plate or bowl – set aside.
Using a kitchen towel, wipe out the pan. Return to the stove and turn the heat to high.
Wrap each piece of chicken with 1 piece of bacon. I like starting and ending on the same side and cooking that side first to seal the bacon to the chicken first – this is helpful so that the bacon doesn’t peel away from the chicken when cooked.
When the pan is very hot, add in the chicken pieces wrapped in bacon. Make sure each piece has some room around it and that the chicken is all on a single layer on the pan. Don’t move for at least 4-6 minutes. When you are ready to flip the chicken oven, turn the heat to medium. Turn the chicken over and cook until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through – takes about 6-8 more minutes – depending on how thick your chicken cutlets are.
Remove from the pan and serve on top of your sautéed garlic green. Spoon the Dill Ranch over the top. Always bring a small jar or bowl of it to your table for adding more.
