Ingredients
  

2 cups diced cooked chicken (you can use rotisserie chicken for convenience)

1 cup Hatch green chilies, roasted and peeled (fresh or canned)

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 medium potatoes, diced into small cubes (you can use Yukon Gold or red potatoes)

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Crumbled feta cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.

    Add Aromatics: Once the potatoes are cooked, push them to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, then add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

      Incorporate Chicken and Chilies: Add the cooked chicken, roasted Hatch green chilies, smoked paprika, and cumin to the skillet. Mix everything together, allowing it to cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

        Cook the Eggs: Create four small wells in the mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for about 5-7 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny (or cook longer if you prefer firm yolks).

          Finishing Touches: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and crumbled feta cheese if desired.

            Serve: Serve warm directly from the skillet with crusty bread or tortillas on the side, for a delightful breakfast experience!
