Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¾ lb lean ground chicken or turkey
  • 1 large Russet potato, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 medium sweet potato, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
  • ¾ cup zucchini, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup water
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chives, minced
  • 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Pinch of coarse black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine the cubed Russet and sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, smoked paprika, oregano, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, and fine sea salt in a large mixing bowl. Toss until evenly coated.
  2. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned potatoes in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until they develop a golden-brown crust.
  3. Stir the potatoes and add the diced onion and red bell pepper; sauté for 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in ¼ cup of water, cover with a lid, and lower the heat to medium-low. Steam for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Push the potato mixture to one side of the pan and add ground chicken to the empty space. Break it apart and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes.
  6. Add diced zucchini and minced garlic, stirring to combine, and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  7. Whisk together the eggs, dill, chives, and a pinch of black pepper in a separate bowl.
  8. Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until softly set.
  9. Divide the potato and chicken mixture into bowls, top with scrambled eggs, and serve immediately.

Notes

To serve, add Greek yogurt or sour cream for creaminess, or sprinkle with crumbled feta or goat cheese. Pairs well with toasted whole-grain bread or a light salad.
