Shredded Chicken & Egg Scramble

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Cooked shredded chicken breast
  • Whole eggs
  • Finely diced white onion, tomatoes, and green peas
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Warm spices (turmeric, chili powder)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Whole grain toast, for serving

Method

  1. Prep Ingredients. Gather your shredded chicken, diced onions, tomatoes, peas, cilantro, and whole eggs.
  2. Sauté Onions. Cook the white onions in a skillet with a little oil until softened and lightly browned.
  3. Add Veggies. Toss in the diced tomatoes and green peas, cooking until softened.
  4. Season. Add your ground spices and salt, stirring to combine with the cooking vegetables.
  5. Add Chicken. Stir in the pre-cooked shredded chicken breast, letting it absorb the pan flavors and warm through.
  6. Crack Eggs. Make spaces in the pan and crack the whole eggs directly over the chicken and veggie mixture.
  7. Let Set Briefly. Allow the egg whites to slightly cook for a few seconds before scrambling.
  8. Scramble. Gently fold and stir everything together until the eggs are completely cooked and scrambled into the chicken.
  9. Plate. Serve the warm scramble on a plate garnished with cilantro alongside a piece of whole-grain toast.
