I remember the first time I tried to go full-on Paleo. It felt…complicated. All those rules! All those obscure ingredients I’d never heard of! My friend Sarah, bless her heart, was a Paleo pro, and she kept telling me, "Remy, it doesn't have to be hard!" She swore by simple bowls packed with goodness, and that's where the idea for this quick Paleo bowl came from. Honestly, I thought she was pulling my leg – good and fast usually don't end up in the same sentence for me. But she was right. It's now a staple in my house, especially when I'm short on time (which, let's be honest, is most of the time!).

This bowl is all about flexibility. No sweet potatos? Throw in parsnips! Hate broccoli? Use bell peppers! I encourage you to tweak this recipe to suit your own taste buds and what you have on hand. One time, I even used leftover roasted duck (talk about fancy-pants Paleo!). Point is, don't be afraid to experiment. The base recipe is a great start, but the real magic happens when you make it your own. So dive in, get creative, and enjoy a meal that's as good for you as it tastes.

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. Prep your veggies: Dice your chosen vegetables (broccoli florets, bell peppers, onions, etc.) into bite-sized pieces. Aim for uniformity for even cooking.
  2. Cook the protein: Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add your chosen protein (diced chicken breast, shrimp, or crumbled sausage) and cook until fully cooked through. Season with salt, pepper, and any desired spices (garlic powder, paprika, chili powder work great). For chicken, ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Sauté the vegetables: Once the protein is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside. Add the prepared vegetables to the same skillet (add another tablespoon of oil if the pan looks dry). Sauté until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs (Italian seasoning, thyme, or rosemary are delicious additions).
  4. Assemble the bowl: Divide the sautéed vegetables between two bowls. Top with the cooked protein. If you want to add some heat, consider a dash of you favorite hot sauce!
  5. Add toppings: Add your favorite Paleo-friendly toppings. Some suggestions include diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, chopped cilantro, a drizzle of olive oil, or a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. I am a real fan of toasted sesame seeds!
  6. Serve immediately: Enjoy your Quick Paleo Bowl right away! This bowl is best enjoyed fresh.

📝 Notes

  • Feel free to substitute any vegetables you prefer. Zucchini, carrots, or mushrooms work well.
  • Use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken to save even more time.
  • Add a sprinkle of nuts or seeds for extra crunch and healthy fats.
