Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Cooked chicken breast (shredded or finely chopped)
• 1 cup Broccoli florets (finely chopped)
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil or non-stick spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smoothly combined.

Step 3

Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper into the wet mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth.

Step 4

Gently fold in the shredded chicken, chopped broccoli florets, and shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 5

Scoop the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
