Description

Imagine starting your day with a skillet bursting with savory flavors and textures. This hearty breakfast is a celebration of simple ingredients, transformed into a satisfying and energizing meal. Tender pieces of chicken breast, lightly browned and juicy, mingle with the vibrant, spicy notes of Spanish-style chorizo.

The chorizo, crumbled and cooked to crispy perfection, releases its flavorful oils, infusing the chicken with a delightful smoky heat. Nestled amongst the chicken and chorizo are fluffy, golden scrambled eggs. Each bite offers a creamy smoothness that contrasts beautifully with the slight chew of the chicken and the delightful crumbly texture of the chorizo.

The eggs act as a blank canvas, absorbing the surrounding flavors and harmonizing the entire dish. As the skillet simmers, a blanket of melted cheese drapes over the ensemble, creating a gooey, irresistible topping. The cheese adds a richness and depth, pulling all the elements together into a cohesive and comforting whole.

Its warmth and slight tanginess complement the other ingredients perfectly. This breakfast skillet is more than just a meal; it's an experience. The combination of textures – the tenderness of the chicken, the slight crispness of the chorizo, the creaminess of the eggs, and the melt-in-your-mouth cheese – creates a symphony in your mouth.

The blend of flavors – the mildness of the chicken, the spice of the chorizo, the richness of the eggs, and the tang of the cheese – awakens your senses and prepares you for the day ahead. It’s a deeply satisfying way to enjoy a delicious and protein-rich start to your day, and can be easily customized to your liking, depending on your personal preferences. Consider adding some freshly chopped herbs like cilantro or parsley for a burst of freshness, or a dollop of sour cream or avocado for added richness and creaminess.

It's a versatile and adaptable dish that can be enjoyed any day of the week.

Instructions

    1.
    In a bowl, whisk together the raw eggs, cream, salt, and pepper. Melt the butter in a wide pan over low heat and stir in the eggs. Heat the eggs over medium-low heat while continually stirring until the eggs are scrambled. You may slightly undercook your eggs since they are returned to the hot pan later.
    2.
    Set the scrambled eggs aside and return the pan to the stove. Cube your chicken and toss the cubes in a mixing bowl with the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika.
    3.
    Heat the olive oil in the pan over medium-high heat and place in the seasoned chicken. Cook the chicken until all sides are cooked but not completely cooked through just yet.
    4.
    Reduce the stove heat to medium and add in the ground chorizo. Toss and break up the chorizo until the chorizo is browned and crumbly and the chicken is now fully cooked through.
    5.
    Reduce the stove heat to low and stir in the scrambled eggs with the shredded cheese. Stir and cook until the eggs are hot again and the cheese has melted.
