Prep Time: 7 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes
Total Time: 13 minutes
Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs or 2 whole eggs + 1/2 cup liquid egg whites
  • 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 4 oz cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded 112g
  • 1/2 cup raw bell peppers and onions, diced
  • 1/2 cup raw fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 tsp olive oil or cooking spray
  • Seasonings: Salt, black pepper, garlic & onion powder to taste

Instructions

  • Sauté the Raw Veggies: Heat olive oil or cooking spray in a skillet over medium heat. Add your freshly diced raw peppers and onions first. Sauté them for 3 to 4 minutes until they start to soften and turn translucent. Toss in the raw chopped spinach during the last 30 seconds just until it wilts.
  • Warm the Chicken: Drop your pre-cooked chicken breast into the skillet for 1-2 minutes just to heat it through with the veggies.
  • Scramble the Eggs: Whisk your eggs in a small bowl with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pour into the skillet with the veggies and chicken, scrambling gently until fluffy and fully set.
  • Assemble the Bowl: Transfer your hot chicken and egg scramble into a serving bowl. Top it off with a cold, creamy scoop of cottage cheese (or stir it directly into the warm eggs for an ultra-creamy, melted cheese vibe!).
  • Serve: Finish with an extra crack of black pepper or a splash of your favorite hot sauce. Enjoy immediately!
