Berries, cinnamon, protein powder, and peanut butter have always been the classic oatmeal ingredients. But what about using up last night’s leftover shredded chicken and spinach for your breakfast oats instead?
Sure, bone broth chicken oatmeal may not sound like your typical oatmeal combination. However, we’re convinced once you taste the first bite of these surprisingly addictive flavors, you’ll be loading up on greens, eggs, and bone broth for your oat toppings instead. It’s a refreshing change from sweet fruits and maple syrup—you may just become a savory oatmeal convert.
This shredded chicken bone broth oatmeal is made with just eight ingredients, which are probably already in your fridge and spice cabinet (savory oats are always a good reason to bust out the paprika).
As far as health benefits go, this savory oatmeal recipe is protein-rich and loaded with fiber, essential for keeping your energy levels stable and your tummy full until lunchtime. The fiber found in oats also supports gut health by encouraging regularity and acting as a prebiotic to feed healthy gut bacteria.
With only 15 minutes required from start to finish, this shredded chicken oatmeal is also ideal for mornings when you’re short on time (assuming you have the shredded chicken prepared and spinach pre-washed and chopped). The only prep work you’ll have to do is make a mirepoix—a fancy name for chopped onion, celery, and carrots—which can also be done in minutes the night before.
