Ingredients
- 1/4 cup diced sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken, roughly chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 egg
- Suggested toppings: salsa, shredded cheese, diced avocado

Delicious! Simple. Satisfying. Healthy. Adaptable.
I made this for lunch since I’m not a morning person. I will plan ahead and prep the sweet potatoes and chicken the night before so they’re all ready to go in the morning. I used double the sweet potato (and water) and half the chicken because that’s what I had on hand. I topped it with shredded cheese. Tasty! Next time I will add a sprinkle of garlic powder with the paprika.
You could easily adapt this basic recipe to your taste and what you have on hand. Try using a different kind of potato, maybe add another veggie or two (like peppers, onions or mushrooms), or vary the seasoning (like Italian or Mexican seasoning). You could use a different meat (like leftover ham or steak). As for toppings, anything goes! If you like it in an omelette then you will like it in this recipe too! But if you don’t want to experiment, this recipe is excellent as written.
You may need to adjust the cooking times depending on your microwave so I suggest using the shortest time first and then add a note for what times work best for you.
