Smoked Chicken For Breakfast

Bev and I both like to keep either a bag of pulled pork or smoked chicken it the fridge which we then use for snacking and quick meals.  We currently have some smoked “Dolly Breasts” (those giant chicken breasts that are nearly always the ones on sale), and I decided to use some for breakfast (actually just 1/3 of a breast was needed).

I cut off 4 slices about ¼“ thick, making sure I got the great flavored skin, diced them up, and  added to a 6” flour tortilla.

Then topped it with some shredded cheddar and the bottom of a small green onion (you can leave these off Dave). 

I nuked them for a minute which warmed the chicken and melted the cheese.

In the meantime I cooked a couple of sunny side up eggs in a covered skillet with a little water added.  I slid the eggs onto the chicken, added a little more cheese and the green onion tops (you can leave these off Dave). 

I thought it was pretty good but after a couple of bites decided it needed some pizazz, so I added some garlic hot sauce which helped a lot - Bev added chipotle hot sauce to hers and it was even better. I think some red or green Mexican sauce on the chicken would have made it perfect – I may have some in the freezer. I know I have some pesto cubes which would make it similar to the pizza from the other day – wish I’d thought of it sooner, but there’s always tomorrow and there’s still plenty of chicken with just 1 1/3 breast. 

The other day Pam from For The Love Of Cooking advised I was the lucky winner of her apron give away and since I don’t wear them, Bev got to choose.  Here she is modeling it - with a little help from Coco.

But if I did wear aprons, I probably would have picked the same one.

Thanks again Pam.
