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:
Instructions:
- Cut the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Season the chicken pieces with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper. Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- 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.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the 6 egg whites until they are well combined.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
