Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks scallions
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese
Instructions
Dice the cooked chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Finely chop the scallions, separating the white and green parts.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well-combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan.
Add the white parts of the scallions to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until softened.
Add the diced chicken to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for 15-20 seconds.
Using a rubber spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs, moving them around the pan to create soft curds.
When the eggs are about 80% cooked but still a little wet, sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top.
Continue folding gently until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still fluffy.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with the green parts of the scallions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Fluffy Chicken Scramble!
