Ingredients Needed
- Chicken Tenders- To make these easy, I typically use Perdue's frozen gluten free and organic tenders. If you'd like to really control the ingredients, make your own gluten free chicken tenders-they're easily made grain free if needed too!
- Hash Browns-I prefer to use the frozen cubed potato variety, and not the frozen fried hash browns.
- Salsa-Use your favorite jarred salsa! If you enjoy green salsa, try this Roasted Salsa Verde.
Swaps + Variations
- Chicken-Use grilled chicken, sausage, or even bacon instead of nuggets.
- Dairy Free-Swap the cheese for dairy-free shreds and use oil instead of butter to make this a dairy free breakfast.
- Salsa-Use a spicy salsa or even pico de gallo.
- Spice-Top with hot sauce to up the spice level.
- Hash browns-Sweet potato hash browns or tater tots work just as well!
How to Make Chick-fil-A Breakfast Bowls
- Step 1: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the hash brown potatoes in the oil according to package directions then set aside.
- Step 2: In a large skilled over medium heat, melt the butter. Meanwhile in a medium mixing bowl, scramble 8 eggs and the water. When the pan is hot, pour in the eggs. Every so often gently stir the eggs, allowing the uncooked eggs to fill the empty spaces, until they are completely cooked through to your liking, or no longer runny and wet. Set aside.
- Step 3: Heat or cook the chicken nuggets according to package directions, until hot and crispy. When finished, chop them into bite sized pieces.
- Step 4: Assemble the bowls: start with hashbrowns, then add eggs, chicken nuggets, salsa, and cheese.
Storage + Reheating
- Storage - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The only components to store separately are the salsa and cheese, so that the texture is fresh upon serving.
- Reheating - Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the hash browns and nuggets crispy. Top with the salsa and cheese at the end.
Chick-fil-a Breakfast Bowls FAQ's
I do not recommend freezing them! The texture of the eggs and potatoes is not nearly as good as it is freshly made.
Yes you can! The texture is always best fresh but I still think they're delicious when prepped in advance. I recommend storing the salsa separately and combining it right before heating so it doesn't make the meal soggy.
If you'd like more sauce than the salsa, try Buffalo sauce or sriracha. It's also delicious with chili lime crema or a spicy mayo.
