Ingredients
Scale
Hash Browns & Chicken
- 22 pieces hash brown crowns (Ore-Ida brand or any preferred type)
- 10 chicken nuggets (Just Bare brand recommended)
Eggs & Dairy
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup Colby-Jack cheese, shredded
Seasonings & Garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook hash browns and chicken nuggets: Preheat your air fryer and cook the 22 hash brown crowns and 10 chicken nuggets together according to their package instructions until they are crispy and cooked through. Cooking them simultaneously ensures both are ready at the same time and have that perfect crispy texture.
- Scramble the eggs: While the hash browns and nuggets cook, heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 2 tablespoons of milk until combined. Lightly spray the skillet with cooking spray, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir continuously until the eggs are scrambled and cooked to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked hash browns evenly between two bowls. Top each bowl with 5 chicken nuggets and one scrambled egg. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded Colby-Jack cheese over the eggs in each bowl. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, serve warm, and enjoy this hearty and flavorful meal!
Notes
- You can easily customize this recipe by using different types of cheese or adding your favorite vegetables to the scrambled eggs.
- For a lower-fat option, consider using egg whites or a low-fat cheese.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the hash browns and chicken nuggets in a conventional oven instead.
- Adding a dash of hot sauce or salsa on top can add a nice kick and extra flavor.
- Make sure to whisk the eggs and milk well to achieve fluffy scrambled eggs.
