Sheet Pan Balsamic Basil Chicken Cauliflower Rice Bowl

Wow, that title sure is a mouthful! While the whole family really enjoyed this simple meal, my two boys LOVED it. They couldn’t get enough of the balsamic vinegar flavor. Heavy doses of extra “sauce” were put into their bowls. I can’t blame them. I love balsamic vinegar too!

Cooking Tip: Chicken is easy to overcook and gets really dry when that happens. Try cooking the vegetables for 10-15 minutes first before adding the chicken to the sheet pan. Make sure to check a few large chunks of chicken with an instant-read thermometer for doneness before serving!

Turmeric Pork Skillet

Cabbage and pork covered in creamy turmeric sauce = super duper satisfying meal. This recipe feels like comfort food to me. It’s warm, hearty, and tasty. The recipe is AIP friendly as is, but I let my kids toss a few cashews on top of theirs to jazz it up a bit. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to reintroduce those into my diet yet (Update: I have reintroduced cashews! Woot!), but don’t worry, the recipe is excellent as is!

Cooking Tip: I’ve found this recipe to be even better with double the spices. Yes, double. Don’t be shy! If you love the powerful flavors of ginger, garlic, and turmeric, then try this one out with a bunch more spice. You’ll love it!

Egg Roll in a Bowl

We are really missing our Korean food these days. Since I have not attempted any nightshade reintroductions, kimchi and all spicy food have been off the table. This one-pan Asian-esque meal was a nice stand-in. There are lots of different textures, and a good depth of flavor, which can sometimes be lacking in an AIP dish.

Not on the AIP diet? This recipe has accommodations for AIP, and it is written to for the standard gluten-free diet to enjoy!

Cooking Tip: This recipe makes a lot. In my opinion, more than 6 servings. Leftovers are never a bad thing though! Just make sure to plan to use all the leftovers in your meal plan for the week. This would be a great recipe to make on Sunday then use the leftovers for lunches for the rest of the week!

AIP Paleo Mediterranean Chicken

Olives are well-loved by all in my family. Not only are they delicious but they fill that oh-so-necessary fat requirement! Artichokes, olives, and capers blend nicely with the chicken and provide a super savory meal for dinner! I also love that this meal is a different set of flavors than we typically eat. The Mediterranean foods are a welcome change in our food rotation.

As written, this meal is not AIP approved because it uses bratwurst. The dinner is so simple and satisfying though, I had to include it! Swap out the bratwurst for kielbasa, and this meal is AIP friendly! Put your veggies on a pan and bake for 20 minutes then add the meat and bake for 20-25 more. Could it be any more simple?

Cooking Tip: Baked sausages tend to be pale on the outside. Turn on the broiler at the end to add some bite and color to the outside of the kielbasa. Or toss the sausages into a cast iron pan to add some color before serving.
