What’s Inside These Breakfast Bowls
- Roasted Potatoes, Peppers & Onions: Classic, hearty, and totally customizable. Roast on a sheet pan or try other methods like air frying or stovetop for a faster yield. Looking for a lower carb option? Sub in keto-friendly “potatoes” like radishes or try a mix of spinach, mushrooms, and carrots. You can also use frozen hash browns or pre-cut fajita veggies.
- Chipotle Pineapple Ground Chicken: This sweet and spicy protein base is made by simmering cooked ground chicken with a chipotle-pineapple sauce made from canned pineapple in juice, chipotle peppers in adobo, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, cloves, and oregano. It’s a simple, flavorful twist that pairs beautifully with eggs and veggies. Ground turkey works too.
- Scrambled Eggs: Use 18 whole eggs or substitute half with liquid egg whites for a lighter option. Scramble in batches if needed and keep the heat low for the perfect texture.
How to Meal Prep These Bowls Each bowl gets about 6 oz of chicken, 4 oz of eggs, and 4 oz of veggies. Store in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat from the fridge or thawed freezer bowls in the microwave for 3-4 minutes.
For toppings, keep it simple with cotija cheese, salsa verde, salsa macha, Greek yogurt or sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Add tortillas if you like!
