Ingredients:

Chicken breast or thigh – ½ lb (cut into small bite-sized pieces)

Eggs – 4 large

Scallions (green onions) – 3, thinly sliced

Garlic – 1 clove, minced

Olive oil – 1 ½ tablespoons

Cherry tomatoes – ½ cup, halved (optional, for garnish)

Feta cheese – ¼ cup, crumbled (optional, for extra Mediterranean flavor)

Salt & black pepper – To taste

Smoked paprika – ½ teaspoon

Dried oregano – ½ teaspoon

Ground cumin – ¼ teaspoon (optional, for a warm depth of flavor)

Lemon juice – 1 teaspoon (for a bright finish)

Instructions:

 Cook the Chicken

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add the chicken pieces, season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, oregano, and cumin.

Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.

Add the garlic and scallions, cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring to combine.

Prepare the Scrambled Eggs

In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Reduce the skillet heat to low and push the chicken to one side of the pan.

Add ½ tablespoon olive oil, then pour in the eggs.

Let them sit for 20-30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, folding them slowly until they start to set.

Mix the eggs and chicken together and cook until the eggs are soft and slightly creamy (do not overcook).

 Finish & Serve

Remove from heat and squeeze lemon juice over the dish.

Garnish with crumbled feta cheese and cherry tomatoes.

Serve warm with whole-grain pita, hummus, or a fresh Mediterranean salad.

Tips & Tricks for the Best Mediterranean Scrambled Eggs

Use extra virgin olive oil for the best Mediterranean flavor.

For extra richness, add a splash of Greek yogurt to the eggs before whisking.

Want more veggies? Add sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini.

Prefer a spicier kick? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

For a low-carb option, serve with a cucumber and tomato salad instead of pita.
