Here’s a delicious frittata for 2 for a fit couple, or one hungry gym rat!
Ingredients you will for frittata are chicken, eggs, yam, zucchini, red onions, tomatoes, and goat cheese. You can easily customize the recipe to your liking. Swap different vegetables, like peppers, asparagus, and spinach, or add a little parsley on top. Or just put the veggies you have in the fridge at the moment, especially if you don’t have time to go to the store or the market.
You can also pre-grill or roast chicken breasts for this dish, or use leftover chicken. This recipe is a great idea when you don’t know what to do with the leftover meat from lunch and you don’t like throwing away food.
Set the oven to 375F before you start preparing the ingredients.
Wash the yam well and cut into cubes, leaving the skin on. Cook the yam in the skillet with coconut oil or olive oil and bake for 20 minutes before adding other ingredients.
In a bowl wish eggs and add some sea salt and pepper. Add other ingredients to the skillet and pour the egg mixture. Top the yam, in the same skillet, with the cooked chicken, zucchini, red onion and omato. Spread some goat cheese. Return to the oven and bake for additional 25 minutes.
When done, remove and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy chicken frittata with fresh salad.
