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, so why not chicken?
This is such an easy recipe.
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).
