Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 1 large egg, 1/4 cup of cooked shredded chicken, 2 tablespoons of feta cheese, 1 tablespoon of milk, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley for garnish.
- In a microwave-safe mug, crack the large egg and add the tablespoon of milk. Use a fork to whisk the egg and milk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Add the shredded chicken to the mug, followed by the feta cheese. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 to 2 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent overflowing. The cooking time may vary based on your microwave's wattage.
- Once the egg is set and cooked through, carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!).
- Let it cool for a minute before garnishing with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Feta Egg Mug!
Tips
- Egg Whisking Technique: Whisk your egg and milk thoroughly to create a fluffy, even texture. The more you whisk, the lighter your egg mug will be.
- Microwave Mastery: Microwave power varies, so start with 1 minute and check the consistency. If not fully cooked, add 15-30 second increments.
- Ingredient Temperature: Use room temperature ingredients for more even cooking and better flavor blending.
- Protein Prep: Use pre-cooked, shredded chicken to save time. Rotisserie chicken works wonderfully in this recipe.
- Cheese Selection: While feta is traditional, you can experiment with other cheeses like cheddar or goat cheese for variety.
- Garnish Options: Fresh herbs like parsley add a burst of color and freshness. Consider chives or basil as alternatives.
- Mug Selection: Use a wide, tall microwave-safe mug to prevent overflow and ensure even cooking.
