Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 4 oz)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Egg and Cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
Bread and Toppings
- 1 English muffin (toasted)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)
- 1 lettuce leaf or a few spinach leaves
- 2 tomato slices (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness to ensure even cooking. Season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the egg: In the same skillet, crack the egg and cook to your preferred doneness, either sunny side up or over hard.
- Toast the muffin: Toast the English muffin halves until golden brown.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of the muffin if using. Layer the cooked chicken breast, cheddar cheese slice, cooked egg, tomato slices if desired, and lettuce or spinach leaves. Top with the remaining muffin half.
- Serve: Serve the sandwich warm for a delicious and satisfying breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute the English muffin with a bagel or croissant for variety.
- Marinate the chicken ahead of time with your favorite spices for extra flavor.
- Add hot sauce to the mayonnaise for a spicy kick.
