Why this works
A high-protein, relatively low-carbohydrate skillet meal with moderate calories; nutrient-dense, though sodium may be noticeable depending on the peri-peri seasoning used.
Lean protein. Chicken breast and eggs provide a substantial amount of complete protein, supporting muscle repair and satiety.
Vitamin C and antioxidants. Red and green peppers, plus tomatoes, contribute vitamin C and carotenoids such as lycopene, which support immune and cell health.
Sodium caution. Peri-peri chicken can be seasoned quite heavily, so sodium may be moderate to high depending on the product or marinade used.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (Fan 170°C, 374°F, Gas Mark 5).
- Slice the peri peri chicken breast into chunks and dice the red pepper and green pepper.
- Halve the tomatoes.
- Add the chicken, peppers and tomatoes to an ovenproof skillet and cook on the hob for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Transfer to the oven and roast for 10 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and juicy.
- Make 2 wells in the mixture and crack in the eggs.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes until the eggs are just set, then serve hot.
