Your new favorite breakfast

If you’re like most of my clients, breakfast is the toughest meal for them to get in. Getting in any meal with the hustle and bustle of the morning is a challenge, never mind a protein-packed meal. Like most people, you probably grab something on the go. This isn’t always the best choice for your goals. Problem solved. This breakfast skillet is the answer to your breakfast dilemma.

While it requires some preparation, this breakfast skillet is worth it. Plus, you know I like to keep things simple. Complicated and long just don’t fit into my hectic life. So when I say “some preparation” I do mean minimal.

Not only is this breakfast skillet delicious, it has 44 grams of protein. 44!!! That is a great way to start you day. I am slightly obsessed with this recipe as I have eaten it for 3 weeks straight. I may have also been seen eating it for lunch on one or two occasions.

Enough of me going on and on about this breakfast skillet. It’s time for you to make (and enjoy) it for yourself!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 bag of baby spinach
  • 2 cups egg whites
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup lite shredded cheese (I like Trader Joe’s lite shredded Mexican)

Directions

  • Brown chicken in pan.
  • Add spinach. Cook until wilted.
  • Divide evenly among 4 oven-safe containers.
  • Add 1/2 cup of egg whites to each container.
  • Bake in 350F oven until egg whites are firm.
  • Top with 1/4 cup of salsa + 1/4 cup cheese.
  • Return to oven until cheese melts.

You know the importance of starting your day with a well-balanced meal. Starting your day with a good dose of protein is equally important. When you start your day with 30 or more grams of protein, you can ensure you will meet your goal for the day!

The other thing I LOVE about this breakfast skillet is that it is just as good reheated as it is straight out of the oven.

If you want to reduce the fat a little you can swap out the ground chicken for 99% fat-free ground turkey breast.

So grab those ingredients, prep four mornings worth of breakfast, and get ready to start your day in a delicious way!
