AIP Chicken Breakfast Skillet | Joy-filled Nourishment

I have been LOVING breakfast skillets.

Mornings can be hectic for most people and so having a meal that is easy to throw together and grab and go throughout the week can be a real time saver. I also just kind of feel like a champion when I only have to grab one container from the fridge in the morning and scoop it into a bowl and reheat. No fumbling around grabbing my leftover veggies, leftover protein, etc because it is ALL in my breakfast skillet. WINNING.

You can definitely use any type of ground meat in this recipe as it is very customizable.

In fact, I hope you do mix it up! Life is all about trying new things and so branching out in the food category is definitely something to strive for.

I hope this breakfast nourishes you and warms your soul.

As the ‘most important meal of the day’ it’s important to take full advantage of it and make the most of it. So let’s dig into this AIP Breakfast skillet!

Easy Peasy Chicken Skillet (PALEO,AIP,WHOLE30)| Joy-filled Nourishment

I love simple and delicious meals. I mean really who doesn’t? This meal came together as I was yearning for something different and unique for breakfast from the usual meatball paired with mashed veggies. I remembered I had kelp noodles in the fridge and the flavors started to form in my mind. This easy peasy chicken skillet utilizes leftover chicken and is ready in 10 minutes. It is packed with flavor and vegetables and is a winner in my husband’s eyes!

I’m slightly obsessed with these kelp noodles as iodine is hard to get into my diet and I love spicing things up texture and flavor wise. These kelp noodles are so versatile and I love that about them.

So why is the iodine in kelp noodles something to jump for joy about? Well…iodine exists in every cell in our body and is essential for producing thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland is one of the primary players in regulating our metabolism—pretty important! Unfortunately, iodine is easily replaced by things like chlorine and fluoride which are often found in our water sources. So how can you get some quality iodine into your diet?! Great food sources of iodine include seaweed and sea vegetables (kelp, arame, dulse, wakame), fish, and other seafoods. Oh the possibilities!

Now let’s get on to the recipe!

Here are my lovely ingredients 🙂
