Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 poblano peppers, diced
- 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup corn
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup cheese, shredded
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by dicing poblano peppers, chopping onions, and shredding pre-cooked chicken breast.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and diced poblano peppers, sautéing until onions become translucent and peppers soften, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Add shredded chicken and corn to the skillet, stirring to combine with the peppers and onions. Season with salt and pepper, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes to warm through.
- Create four small wells in the chicken and vegetable mixture using the back of a spoon.
- Carefully crack an egg into each well, allowing eggs to cook slowly. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks reach desired consistency.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of the skillet, covering the eggs and mixture. Remove from heat and let cheese melt for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet, ensuring each serving includes an egg, chicken, and vegetable mixture.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Select firm, dark green poblano peppers and high-quality chicken breast for the best flavor.
- Shredding Chicken Hack: Use two forks to easily shred pre-cooked chicken, or save time by using rotisserie chicken.
- Pepper Preparation: Remove seeds from poblano peppers for a milder taste, or keep them for an extra kick of heat.
- Egg Cooking Tip: For perfectly cooked eggs, keep the skillet covered and watch the whites – they should be set but yolks still slightly runny for maximum deliciousness.
- Cheese Melting Technique: Remove the skillet from heat when adding cheese to prevent overcooking and achieve that perfect, gooey melt.
- Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare the chicken and vegetable mixture in advance and quickly finish with eggs when ready to serve.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair with warm tortillas or crusty bread to soak up all the delicious flavors!
