My typical American diet induced whiplash when the first ingredient in your “oatmeal breakfast” was a pound of chicken thighs. This isn’t a complaint at all - it just made me very aware of my own dietary assumptions. It sounds very good.

FWIW, I don't think it's typical to have haleem for breakfast. My wife's family is from Iran, and when I mentioned how much I enjoyed the haleem (that my mother-in-law had sent us home with) for breakfast, they thought I was crazy! (They warmed to the idea - we've learned much from one another heh)

Breakfast has a surprisingly big variance across the world, with mostly Europe and North America eating sweets for breakfast. In many other places in the world, it tends to be savory. This article [0] has pictures of breakfasts from around the world. With regards to oatmeal, my preference is to eat it as part of muesli [1], mixed with plain yogurt, filmjölk, or skyr.

During covid I've gotten quite bored with my chef (me) and experimented. I thought I was thinking out-of-the-box adding cashews and bananas to things like chili. But oatmeal and chicken is broadening my mind. I actually think it makes sense, I've always thought all-carbs-for-breakfast was invented by cereal companies. I've been way better off with something more along the lines of huevos rancheros with refriend beans.

Well then, you should try this Iranian dessert made with... Lamb neck meat: https://www.tasteatlas.com/khoresht-mast https://www.tasteatlas.com/khoresht-mast :) From what I've heard the meat just blends into the dish and gives it richness without really giving it a 'meaty' flavor. I'm just trying to find some restaurant near me that serves it.
