Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs (diced)
  • 2 tbsp chipotle in adobo (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp adobo sauce (from the can)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion (diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 cups spinach
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt(optional)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook 3–4 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Add garlic for 30 seconds, then add chicken. Cook 6–8 minutes until browned and mostly cooked.

  3. 3

    Stir in chipotle and adobo sauce. Simmer 3–4 minutes until thick and fragrant. Season with salt and lime juice.

  4. 4

    In a separate pan, cook eggs to your preference (soft scramble or sunny-side). Keep them tender to avoid dryness.

  5. 5

    Wilt spinach in the chicken skillet for 30–60 seconds, just to brighten and reduce volume.

  6. 6

    Assemble bowls: spinach base, chipotle chicken, then eggs on top. Finish with a squeeze of lime.
