Chicken Fajita Scramble
A chicken breakfast recipe? I know right? It’s a different twist but trust me, this Chicken Fajita Scramble is perfect.
This isn’t the first time I posted a chicken breakfast recipe either, back in early 2016 I posted these Chicken Breakfast Muffins for Chicken Farmers of Canada and you guys, they’re so good.
It’s funny, I never think of doing chicken breakfast recipes. Having chicken for breakfast seems odd at first thought, but we do have ham from time to time, and steak and eggs, Â so why not chicken?
This is such an easy recipe.Â
Seriously you guys, so easy to do. I used leftover fajitas from the night before, added some eggs and cheese and that’s it. If you’re curious on how I made the fajita mixture – I’ll let you in on a little secret:
I used a fajita mix from the store. You can make your own but I was low on time and this was easier. Taking the quick and easy route isn’t always a bad thing my friends!
Fun (and possibly useless) fact: This was supposed to be a chicken fajita omelet but I forgot to spray the bottom of my pan and it didn’t want to flip – so it became a scramble instead. I’ll post the omelet another day (although, I have posted a fajita omelet before – this isn’t my first rodeo with a fajita inspired breakfast).
