Muscle Builder Breakfast: Eggs & Grilled Chicken
Stripped down and unapologetically protein-forward, this is the breakfast for training mornings and long days ahead. Butter-soft scrambled eggs meet smoky grilled chicken — no fillers, no fuss, just the kind of plate that fuels real work.
Instructions
- 01
Melt the butter in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat until it foams gently.
- 02
Add the sliced grilled chicken and warm through for a minute, turning once so each piece picks up a little of the butter.
- 03
Crack the eggs straight into the pan (or whisk first for scrambled). Stir slowly with a spatula, pulling the eggs from the edges into the centre until just set and glossy.
- 04
Season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- 05
Slide onto a warm plate with the chicken alongside, and serve immediately while the eggs are still soft.
- ✦Pull the eggs off the heat just before they look done — they keep cooking on the plate.
- ✦Use cold butter for richer, creamier scrambled eggs.
- ✦Leftover grilled chicken from dinner is ideal here — slice it thin so it warms quickly.
- ✦A pinch of chilli flakes or fresh chives lifts the plate without adding carbs.
