Bacon-wrapped chicken livers make a perfect appetiser for anyone wanting to level up their nutrient density with a luscious bacon taste.
The liver is a great source of lean protein and vitamins A, B2, B5, B12, choline, folate, iron, phosphorus and selenium. Bacon fills in some additional potassium and B1.
Serve on a bed of lettuce or spinach to fill in the vitamins C, K, calcium, magnesium and potassium.
