Instructions

1. 1.
   Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken breast and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a light golden brown color. Ensure the chicken is evenly cooked by cutting into the thickest piece; it should be white all the way through.
2. 2.
   Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the chopped spinach and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until wilted. Be careful not to overcook the spinach as it should retain a vibrant green color and tender texture. If the skillet becomes too dry, add a splash of water to help in the wilting process.
3. 3.
   Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them lightly with a fork until combined. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the chicken and spinach. Allow the eggs to cook, gently stirring with a spatula to scramble. Keep stirring until the eggs are just set but still creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Cooking them slowly ensures tender, fluffy curds.
4. 4.
   Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the scrambled mixture. Gently fold the cheese into the scramble off the heat, allowing the feta to melt slightly from the residual heat. The feta will add a tangy and creamy contrast to the savory scramble. If desired, season to taste with salt and pepper, remembering that feta is already salty.
5. 5.
   Transfer the scramble onto a plate. To add an extra layer of flavor, drizzle a little more olive oil over the top before serving. Enjoy immediately while everything is still warm. If you prefer a little spice, a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes can elevate the flavor profile.
