Ingredients
-
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 medium onion (optional)
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Fresh herbs (optional, e.g., parsley, basil, thyme)
-
1 cup vegetables of your choice (spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms)
Instructions
-
Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 4-6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
-
Prepare the Eggs: In the same skillet, crack the eggs (either scrambled or fried). For scrambled eggs, whisk eggs and pour them into the skillet, stirring gently for about 3 minutes until fully cooked. For fried eggs, crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness.
-
Optional Add-ins: Sauté garlic, onions, and vegetables in the skillet for added flavor before serving.
-
Serve: Place the cooked chicken on a plate and top with the eggs. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
