Chicken Breakfast Muffins
I love a good crossover recipe. These Chicken Breakfast Muffins are such a great meal hack. Even though “breakfast” is in the title, they work well for a snack, breakfast, lunch or brunch. Do you have any favorite chicken and egg recipes?
Who would have thought chicken breakfast recipes were a thing? Turns out, it’s awesome and it adds extra protein to your day. While you’re at it, check out this Chicken Fajita Scramble – it’s another delicious chicken breakfast that I make from time to time.
Chicken Breakfast Muffins
I have to admit that it felt a little odd at first to include “chicken” and “breakfast” in the same title. I have never cooked chicken as a breakfast food before, but let me tell you -it works.
I was on Chicken.ca looking for other tasty chicken breakfast recipes and I also found one that I want to try in the future, a Chicken Breakfast Skillet. To make life that much easier, I checked it out on the Chicken.ca Shopping App.

Back to the Chicken Breakfast Muffins, did I mention how easy they are? Simply saute the chicken and vegetables together.
From there you will let the mixture cool, once it’s cooled down add it to the egg mixture.
Fill a muffin tin, bake for 25 minutes and you will have a delicious brunch that makes a healthy punch.

I love egg muffins, but I never thought about using chicken. This looks amazing!! Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday. 🙂
Looks really delicious! I love to add chicken to my egg recipes.
I never thought I would see chicken and muffin in the same sentence but this look delicious!! I can’t wait to make some of these for my early mornings at work!
You’ll love it Jenn!
These look so great Randa! My kids and husband would take them for lunch and snacks for sure.
These look amazing, and pretty easy too – perfect for me ;). I bet they’re delicious the next day, too.
Okay, I never really considered having chicken for breakfast, but why not? We love chicken and these breakfast muffins look amazing! Will definitely be trying this recipe very soon!
I have to say, I really love the idea of the Chicken Breakfast Muffins! They look and sound great and have the needed protein to kick start your day. I am not sure my kids would be sold on the, but I am going to try. They kind of look like a little quiche.
Do you happen to know the container counts for this?
This is my taking a rough estimate….2 muffins would be 1 red, 1/2 a green. Maybe 1/4 blue?
Has anyone tried to bake this in a pan instead of into muffins?
I haven’t but give it a shot and report back!
What can I substitute for the coconut oil? I’m allergic
Avocado oil will work!
