AIP Friendly Garlic-Mushroom Chicken Hash
Hearty, warming, and deeply satisfying, this one-skillet hash is the kind of meal that makes clean eating feel genuinely exciting rather than like a compromise. Tender chunks of chicken thigh, golden sweet potato, and earthy cremini mushrooms come together in a cast iron skillet with fragrant garlic, turmeric, ginger, thyme, and rosemary — a lineup that smells incredible and tastes even better. Every ingredient here is squarely on the approved list for the autoimmune protocol, so there's no need to scan labels or swap anything out. Coconut oil does all the cooking work, and a splash of apple cider vinegar at the end ties the whole dish together with a subtle brightness that keeps it from feeling heavy. The technique is straightforward — sear, sauté, layer in the spices, and finish — but the result looks and tastes like something you'd order at a restaurant. Fresh parsley scattered over the top adds a pop of color and a clean herby note if you have it on hand. Serves four, and it reheats beautifully if you're meal-prepping for the week.

Instructions
- 1
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season with 1/2 tsp of the salt. Heat 1 tbsp of the coconut oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until the undersides are golden and release easily from the pan. Stir and continue cooking for another 3–4 minutes, until the chicken is opaque throughout with no pink at the center and registers 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp of the coconut oil to the same skillet. Add the sweet potato and the remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Cook, stirring every 2–3 minutes, for 10–12 minutes, until the sweet potato is tender when pierced with a fork and golden on at least two sides.
