Ground Chicken, Spinach & Egg Skillet
A delicious, one-pan chicken and egg dish complete with veggies. It is great any time of day but works nicely for breakfast as a quick, high fibre, high protein start to your day.
Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup onion, diced
1 each garlic, clove, minced
½ lb ground chicken, lean
4 oz mushrooms, fresh, ready-sliced, package
10 oz (300 g package ) spinach, cooked, frozen, defrosted
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp oregano, dried
¼ tsp red hot chili pepper flakes (optional)
4 eggs, medium
Step1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic and ground chicken. Stir and use the back of a wooden spoon to break the ground chicken into smaller pieces. Sauté until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink – about 8 minutes.
Step2
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and defrosted chopped spinach with any juices. Sprinkle with ground nutmeg, dried oregano and red hot chili pepper flakes (optional). Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until the mushrooms have softened – about 5 minutes.
Step3
Reduce heat to medium-low. Make four wells in the mixture to hold the eggs. Break an egg into each well, sprinkle with salt, cover and continue cooking until the eggs are done to your liking. It takes about 5 minutes for medium set eggs. Serve right from the pan.
