Southwest Chicken and Ranch Veggie Skillet

Enjoy this one pot Tex-Mex meal with this Southwest Chicken and Ranch Veggie Skillet. Pan seared chicken topped with sauteed veggies, ranch dressing, Mexican cheese and bacon!

ME BEFORE THE RECIPE…

I’m in recovery mode. My head is spinning and I can’t think straight. I just ran a marathon. A mama marathon. They exist, trust me. And they are almost as difficult as running a real one.

Wait, I take that back. Mama marathons are much harder. At least running a real marathon, you have some time to yourself…and a LOT of time to BREATHE. I feel like I haven’t taken a breath for at least a week. I literally feel like I am running a race and every time I get close to the finish line, it magically scoots farther and farther away. What’s up with that?!

So yesterday I woke up bright and early, woke the kids up for school, fixed breakfast like I’m running a freaking gourmet breakfast bar for these fools:

Gluten free chocolate banana muffin for Braelyn.
Gluten free cream cheese and honey blackberry jam bagel with a runny egg on the side for Emry.
Whole grain avocado toast with spinach, tomatoes, sprouts, and a fried egg topped with homemade ranch, sriracha, and chives for Ben.
Plain Greek yogurt parfait with blood oranges, grapes, pineapple, homemade granola, and a drizzle of honey for myself.

And this was all before 7 am. This is every day. Every. Single. Day.

But, I love it. As long as my family is willing to eat healthy, hearty meals, I’m always willing to cook for them….
