Why You'll Love This Recipe

This Chicken Sausage Breakfast Scramble is not only tasty but also packed with healthy ingredients. The organic chicken sausage adds a savory flavor and is a good source of protein. Broccoli is a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals, while onions and garlic bring a depth of flavor and a boost to your immune system. It all adds up to a hearty egg scramble that will help keep you full until it’s time for lunch.

Ingredients

1 organic chicken sausage link, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 whole eggs (you can also use egg whites if you prefer)
1-2 sprays of avocado oil or olive oil
1 cup chopped broccoli florets
1/4 small onion, chopped (in a pinch, you can use onion powder instead)
1 clove garlic, minced
Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Warm the Oil: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1-2 sprays of avocado oil. Avocado oil is great for high-heat cooking, while adding a bit of healthy fat to the scramble.
Cook the Sausage and Veggies: Add the sliced chicken sausage, chopped broccoli, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the veggies to soften and the sausage to brown nicely.
Prepare the Eggs: In a small bowl, beat eggs with a whisk or fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Combine and Cook: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the sausage mixture. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. Stir everything together until the eggs are fully cooked and no longer runny.
Serve: Remove from heat and serve warm. Enjoy your hearty and healthy breakfast scramble!
