Parmesan Chicken Scramble is a delightful and protein-packed dish that combines the rich flavors of chicken and parmesan cheese with the light, fluffy texture of scrambled eggs. This recipe is perfect for a quick breakfast or a satisfying brunch.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
3 oz chicken breasts
81g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
3 eggs
150g
1.50 oz grated parmesan cheese
44g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 tbsp basil
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Chicken:
- Dice the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
2. Cook Chicken:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced chicken to the skillet and cook until the chicken pieces are golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Ensure to stir occasionally for even cooking.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare Eggs:
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well blended.
- Add a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper to the eggs and mix well.
4. Cook Eggs:
- Using the same skillet, lightly spray it with cooking spray oil. Place back on the stove over medium heat.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and let them cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds to start setting.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- Gently scramble the eggs by stirring with a spatula, creating soft folds.
- When the eggs are halfway cooked (still slightly runny), add the cooked chicken pieces back into the skillet.
- Continue to cook while gently stirring until the eggs are fully set but still soft (about 1-2 minutes).
6. Add Cheese and Basil:
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the scrambled mixture.
- Add the chopped fresh basil.
- Mix everything together until the cheese is fully melted and well incorporated.
7. Serve:
- Remove the skillet from heat.
- Serve immediately, garnishing with extra basil or a sprinkle of parmesan if desired.

Tips:

- Make sure to pre-cook the chicken breasts before adding them to the eggs to ensure they are cooked through and tender.

- For a fluffier scramble, whisk the eggs thoroughly before adding them to the pan to incorporate more air.

- If you prefer, you can substitute the chicken with turkey or even tofu for a vegetarian option.

- Use fresh basil for the best flavor, but dried basil can be used if fresh is not available.

- Cook the scramble on medium-low heat to prevent the eggs from becoming rubbery or overcooked.

This Parmesan Chicken Scramble is both delicious and easy to prepare, making it a great addition to your meal repertoire.
