A delicious and nutritious scramble featuring creamy avocado, tender chicken, and vibrant carrots, perfect for a healthy breakfast or brunch option.

Steps

  1. In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork until smooth.
  2. In a non-stick skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the grated carrot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  4. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the chicken and carrots, stirring gently to scramble.
  7. Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove from heat and fold in the mashed avocado.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro if desired.

Tips for Avocado Chicken Scramble

  • Look for softly set eggs with a slight sheen; overcooking can make the curds dry and firm.
  • Fold in the avocado off the heat to keep it creamy rather than letting it break down into the scramble.
  • A non-stick skillet and flexible spatula make it easier to form tender curds without sticking.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry sparkling wine
Its lively acidity and bubbles balance the creamy avocado and complement the savory chicken and eggs.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lime

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a sealed container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the avocado may darken and soften.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the eggs are done?

They should form soft, moist curds with no visibly runny egg; they will continue to firm slightly after leaving the skillet.

Can I prepare this ahead?

For the best texture, cook it just before serving. You can shred the cooked chicken and grate the carrot ahead, then refrigerate them until needed.

What should I serve with it?

Serve with toast or warm tortillas, or add fresh fruit on the side for a simple brunch.
