Skillet Topping
- 1 tsp Herb seasoning Any will do, such as Italian seasoning or Herbs do Provence.
- 2 tsp Baking powder

- 1 1/2 cups Cheese, grated Any melting cheese or mixture will do, such as Colby, Monterey, Cheddar, Swiss, Mozzarella, etc.
Instructions
Skillet Mixture
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Add butter to a cast iron frying pan and allow to it melt on the stove on medium heat. Add onion and sauté for a few minutes until golden.
- Add veggies to the pan along with salt, black pepper, and red pepper (if using). Sauté for a few minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Add chopped chicken to the pan and mix well. Allow the chicken to warm through. Then remove the pan from the stovetop and transfer it to a foil-lined baking sheet. (See video.) The foil-lined baking sheet will help catch any bubble over if you have an active sourdough discard.
Skillet Topping
- Prepare the skillet topping in a medium-sized bowl by mixing the seasoning, baking powder, salt, and baking soda (if using) together.
- Add the sourdough starter to the bowl and mix well.
- Add the melted butter to the bowl and mix well.
- Add the eggs to the bowl and mix well.
- Pour the Skillet Topping over the Skillet Mixture in the pan. Top with grated cheese and transfer to the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes at 400°F until the topping is puffed and the cheese is melted and golden. Serve and enjoy!
- Well-wrapped leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and will stay fresh for 2-3 days. Well-wrapped leftovers may also be frozen and will stay fresh for 2 months.
- To reheat leftovers, place on a baking sheet in a preheated 325°F oven for approximately 20 minutes until warmed through.
