Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 2 cups frozen hash browns, thawed
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 packet fajita seasoning mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the fajita seasoning, onion, and bell pepper, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cooked chicken and vegetable mixture with the thawed hash browns. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
- Assemble the Bake: In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spread the hash brown mixture evenly. Pour the egg mixture over the top, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired and serve warm.
