One skillet meals can be a real time saver and can make clean up easier, too. It’s easy to modify traditional meat dishes into healthier vegetarian ones with a little practice and ingenuity. This Vegetarian Chicken, Kale, and 3 Pepper Skillet can be made with chicken, of course, but using tofu, gluten or tvp chunks, or even a bean will take this healthy choice into the very healthy world!

Though this is delicious as it is, there are many ways to jazz this up just a bit for a more special touch. You might add a touch of Worcestershire sauce (we use the vegan version) for a flavor zip, or stir in a little orange juice for a citrus kick. Serve it over a bed of rice or quinoa for a more filling meal that will serve lunch the next day, too.
All of the ingredients listed can be purchased as organic products. We always choose organic whenever possible and urge you to consider doing so, as well. There are many reasons to choose organic, including the avoidance of GMO foods. A few of the top reasons are listed here.
