Ingredients
Scale
Hash Browns and Chicken
- 22 pieces hash brown crowns (Ore-Ida brand recommended, or any hash browns)
- 10 chicken nuggets (Just Bare brand recommended)
Eggs and Dairy
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup Colby-Jack cheese, shredded
Seasoning and Garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook hash browns and chicken nuggets: Cook the hash browns and chicken nuggets simultaneously according to their package instructions. Using an air fryer is ideal to achieve crispy, evenly cooked results, ensuring both are ready at the same time.
- Scramble the eggs: While the hash browns and nuggets cook, heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Spray the skillet with cooking spray, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir constantly until the eggs are scrambled to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked hash browns evenly into two bowls. Top each with 5 chicken nuggets and one scrambled egg. Sprinkle the cheese over the eggs so it slightly melts, then garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your hearty breakfast bowls.
Notes
- You can substitute the brands mentioned with your favorite hash browns and chicken nuggets.
- For a dairy-free option, use plant-based milk and cheese alternatives.
- If you prefer, scramble the eggs with vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for added nutrition.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- The air fryer ensures crispiness but you can bake or pan-fry the hash browns and nuggets as alternatives.
