Description

A fulfilling breakfast packed with protein, vibrant veggies, and bold flavors, perfect for meal prep.


Ingredients

  • 2 lbs lean ground chicken (or turkey)
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 bell peppers (red & yellow), diced
  • 1 poblano pepper, chopped
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, chopped into chunks
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 16 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and place the chopped baby potatoes in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 25–30 minutes until tender and golden brown.
  2. Add the bell peppers, onion, and poblano pepper to the baking dish with the potatoes for the last 10 minutes of roasting.
  3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and taco seasoning, and cook until browned.
  4. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a bowl. Scramble the eggs in another pan over medium heat until just set.
  5. Assemble the bowls by dividing the roasted veggies, cooked meat, and scrambled eggs into containers.
  6. Serve hot, topping each bowl with optional salsa, cilantro, or cheese.
