Chicken and dill protein scramble

Chicken and dill protein scramble is a quick and nutritious recipe that's perfect for a high-protein breakfast or post-workout meal. This dish combines tender chicken breast, fresh dill, and egg whites for a light yet satisfying meal that's full of flavor and easy to prepare.

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts
240g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
6 egg whites
200g
1 tbsp dill
3.10g
1 tbsp vegetable oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Cut the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces.
2. Seasoning:
- Season the chicken pieces with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper. Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
3. Cook the Chicken:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet.
- Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
4. Prepare the Egg Whites:
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the 6 egg whites until they are well combined.
5. Scramble the Eggs:
- Reduce the heat to medium and pour the egg whites over the cooked chicken in the skillet.
- Gently stir and cook the egg whites with the chicken, scrambling everything together until the eggs are fully set and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
6. Add Dill:
- Once the eggs are cooked, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped dill over the scramble.
- Gently fold the dill into the scramble to evenly distribute the flavor.
7. Serve:
- Remove the scramble from the heat and serve immediately.
- Enjoy your Chicken and Dill Protein Scramble on its own, or with a side of fresh vegetables or toast.

Tips:

- To save time, you can use pre-cooked chicken breast. Just chop it into small pieces and add it to the scramble when cooking the eggs.

- Feel free to add other herbs or spices according to your taste. Parsley or chives work well with this dish.

- For added flavor, you can sauté some onions or garlic in the vegetable oil before adding the chicken.

- If you prefer a bit more richness, you can use whole eggs instead of just egg whites.

- Serve the scramble with a side of whole grain toast or fresh fruit for a complete, balanced meal.

There you have it—a simple, high-protein chicken and dill scramble that’s perfect for any time of the day. This dish not only packs a nutritional punch but also delivers fantastic flavor with minimal effort. Add this recipe to your repertoire for a go-to meal that's both healthy and delicious.
