Here’s a cooking “pro-tip”, if you make roast chicken, make broccoli too. Then tomorrow you can have broccoli and chicken egg bakes! Yum! These are fast to prepare, travel well and are tasty hot or cold. Almost the perfect lunch. I’ve included a recipe with specific amounts, but egg bakes are really a personal preference thing. If you like a lot of chicken, put in a lot of chicken. If you’d rather have it mostly egg, reduce the chicken. One of my kids leaves out the chicken all together. I also chop my left over broccoli very small, I find it improves the texture of the egg bake. You can cook these in ramekins or muffin tins (or in a box, or with a fox) but I prefer to make mine in my pretty little flower shaped silicon cupcake cups.
