Meals with chicken and eggs
Chicken and eggs might seem like redundant proteins, but they work well together.
The egg often acts as a sauce-element or as a topping over a chicken rice bowl.
Easy meal ideas
Oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl)
Simmer chicken pieces and beaten egg in soy sauce and dashi, serve over rice.
Chicken fried rice with egg
Stir-fry day-old rice with cooked chicken and scrambled egg, season with soy sauce.
Chicken egg skillet
Pan-cook diced chicken, push aside and scramble eggs in the same pan.
Chicken frittata
Mix cooked chicken pieces with beaten eggs and cheese, cook low in an oven-safe pan, finish in oven.
How to stretch these ingredients
- Oyakodon is very fast once you understand the technique — worth trying
- Cooked chicken (even leftover) works in all of these
- Season with soy sauce and sesame oil for an easy Asian-style bowl
- A little broth in the skillet adds more flavor
- Eggs bind and carry the flavor of chicken in frittatas really well
