Cook the chicken mince in a pan until fully done, add finely chopped beetroot stalks and soften them, then add the egg. Cook gently until the egg white is set and the mince is thoroughly cooked; this order keeps the chicken from remaining raw.
Yes, beetroot stalks are edible and work well in this dish. Wash them carefully, trim any tough ends, and chop them small so they soften evenly. Cook the stalks before adding the egg, since they take longer to soften than the leafy tops.
Yes, cook the chicken mince first and make sure it is fully cooked before adding the egg. Otherwise, the egg may overcook while you wait for the mince to finish. Add the beetroot stalk greens after the mince has started cooking, then crack in the egg.
Use a well-seasoned or non-stick pan and coat it lightly with oil before adding the ingredients. Let the egg white begin to set before moving the mixture. A pan that is too hot can also make the egg stick or brown before the chicken and greens are ready.
Spinach, Swiss chard, or finely chopped kale can stand in for beetroot stalk greens. Add tougher stems early so they soften, but add tender leaves later. The replacement changes the flavour and texture, so taste the dish before adding extra seasoning.
Black pepper, cumin, paprika, and a little garlic complement the chicken and earthy beetroot greens. Use the spices lightly at first, because strong seasoning can mask the greens. A squeeze of lemon after cooking can brighten the dish without needing a complicated sauce.
It is best cooked shortly before eating, because reheated egg can become firm and dry. You can save time by washing and chopping the beetroot stalk greens ahead, and by keeping raw chicken mince sealed in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook.
Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container and eat them within a few days. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, until it is hot throughout. Discard the dish if it has been left at room temperature for an extended period.
Yes, but freezing can make the cooked egg dry or rubbery after thawing. Freeze it in a sealed portion, thaw it in the refrigerator, and reheat it thoroughly in a pan. For the best texture, freeze cooked chicken and greens separately and add a freshly cooked egg later.
Serve it with toast, flatbread, or a simple tomato and cucumber salad. The bread makes it a more substantial breakfast, while fresh vegetables add a crisp contrast to the soft egg and cooked greens. It can also be served on its own as a light meal.

Pan-fried egg with chicken mince and beetroot stalk greens is a simple skillet dish combining eggs, minced chicken and the leafy stems of beetroot. The chicken is cooked in the pan first, then the greens and egg are added; it works well as an easy home-cooked meal rather than belonging to one particular regional tradition.
The egg and chicken make it savoury and filling, while the greens soften and bring a mild, earthy flavour. Serve it warm for breakfast or brunch, or alongside salad and bread for lunch or supper. It is protein-rich and low in carbohydrates; cooking with just a little oil and adding extra greens makes for a lighter plate.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
