Vegetable Chicken Skillet

Trying to make sure your brain gets nutrients it needs doesn’t have to be complicated. This Vegetable Chicken Skillet recipe proves how easy it can be. The entire dish can be made in one skillet!

Ideally, you should use a cast iron skillet for this recipe, but any skillet will work! Cast iron skillets impart iron into the foods you cook, which is beneficial in many ways. Iron is a key mineral for the brain, as it’s essential for the movement of oxygen, mitochondrial respiration, neurotransmitter synthesis, myelin synthesis, and DNA synthesis.

Chicken is the main ingredient in this recipe, and it supports the brain by providing nutrients essential for cognitive function and mood.

Broccoli also has  nutrients that are important for the brain. This powerful green vegetable is abundant in glucosinolates, compounds that the body breaks down into isothiocyanates. In turn, isothiocyanates are believed to support cognitive function.

The other vegetables in this dish can be substituted with any others you prefer. Just be sure not to omit the garlic and onions. Garlic and onions have antioxidant properties that may work to support healthy brain function.
