Ingredients
- Eggs (desired amount)
- 400 ml warm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast fillet, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 capsicum pepper (any color), chopped
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp tomato paste
- Salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes (optional), thyme
- 70 ml hot water
Instructions
- Steam the Eggs: In a large pot or deep bowl, fill each cup (mugs or ramekins work well) one-third full with warm water (about 400 ml total) and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Carefully crack an egg into each cup. Arrange the cups in the pot and carefully add enough boiling water to reach one-third of the cups’ height. Cover and cook on low heat for 7 minutes. Drain the water carefully.
- Sauté the Chicken and Vegetables: While the eggs are steaming, heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until browned. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and cook for 2 minutes until softened.
- Add the Vegetables and Spices: Add the chopped capsicum pepper, green pepper, and carrot to the pan, and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in the chopped tomato and cook for 1 minute.
- Create the Sauce: Add the tomato paste, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and thyme to the pan. Pour in the hot water (70 ml) and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook on low heat until the sauce thickens and most of the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes.
- Assemble and Serve: Gently remove the steamed eggs from the cups and place them on a plate. Carefully pour the hot sauce with vegetables and chicken over the top of the eggs. Enjoy!
Tips
- Feel free to experiment with different vegetables like broccoli, zucchini, or mushrooms.
- Don’t have hot water? No problem! Use warm water and simmer the sauce for a few extra minutes until it thickens.
- This recipe is easily doubled or tripled to feed a crowd.
