Chicken Cabo Breakfast Bowl
A spicy, fresh, dairy-free breakfast option that will indulge the taste buds.
A favorite brunch place near us is known for their breakfast bowls. The Chicken Cabo bowl is an off-menu item that makes for a perfect way to break an intermittent fast. While their version is loaded with potatoes and cheese with a side of corn tortillas, they are awesome at accommodating my request to remove those items.
Jalapeno
The jalapeno, prepared correctly yields amazing flavor without extreme spice. Capsaicin the part of the pepper that brings the heat, is higher in concentration in the rib and seeds. (1.0) Removing them provides a great balance to the other flavors in this dish.
Using a paring knife, slice lengthwise in two. Then cut off the stalk. Using the tip of the knife remove the rib and seeds and core, keeping the knife close to the surface of the flesh.
Chicken
This dish is usually made with left over chicken, just make certain that the seasoning on your chicken won’t counter the flavorings. Heavy sauce covering on chicken will not blend well.
Tomatoes
While the tomato is considered a fruit and does contain some sugar, added in small amounts to a recipe can still keep it in a ketogenic, low carb diet. (2)
Cherry tomatoes are packed with big flavor in a small packages and make this recipe pop with flavor.
Intermittent Fasting
Consuming the day’s calories in a shortened time window has been shown to increase fat loss. While the name sounds scary, we fast nightly while we sleep. The practice of intermittent fasting can be extended to increase the body’s time breaking down fat. Which makes this break-the-fast bowl the perfect way to end a fast.
