Chicken Oatmeal tastes great straight from the pouch. It also takes well to a few extra ingredients from your kitchen. Try these five combinations.
- Add a Soft Egg. Stir in a soft-boiled or poached egg. The yolk turns the bowl into something closer to congee.
- Go Green. Add a handful of baby spinach or kale in the last minute of cooking. The greens wilt fast and add color.
- Top with Crunch. Sprinkle on crushed tortilla chips, fried onions, or toasted pepitas. Savory oatmeal needs texture, not just flavor.
- Make It Spicy. Add a spoonful of chili crisp or a dash of hot sauce. Chicken Oatmeal carries heat well.
- Turn It into a Bowl Meal. Add black beans, corn, and a squeeze of lime for a breakfast burrito bowl without the tortilla.
Pick one addition, or combine two. Chicken Oatmeal is a base, not a finished dish, once you start experimenting.
