Ingredients

  • 150 g chicken breast

  • 1/2 onion

  • 1 clove of garlic

  • 1 egg

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 2 tbsp water

Tools you'll need

non-stick skillet spatula cutting board knife plate

Chef's tip: Cut the chicken into uniform 2 cm cubes so they cook evenly and quickly without drying out.

Chef's tip: If the egg starts to stick, lower the heat and stir more gently; the residual heat will finish setting it.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken breast into 2 cm cubes. Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic.

    ~3 min
  2. 2

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through (74°C/165°F), about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

    ~5 min
  3. 3

    In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.

    ~3 min
  4. 4

    Return the chicken to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and let everything heat through for 1 minute.

    ~1 min
  5. 5

    Crack the egg into the skillet. Stir gently to scramble it into the chicken and onion mixture. Cook until the egg is softly set and reaches 71°C/160°F, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
