Oyako don for breakfast

(taken out on our deck this morning. there was a thin layer of snow from last night sparkling on the grass :D)

Lydia from My Kitchen posted a picture and recipe for Oyako Donburi (Japanese rice bowl with chicken and egg toppings) so mouthwatering I had to try it myself. We had most of the ingredients on hand, but I made a few substitutions for Japanese ingredients we didn 't have. Lydia's recipe was "quick and easy" like she promised, even with my adjustments. The delicious result: slightly American-ized and Chinese-ified Oyako Don for breakfast this morning!

4-6 c. cooked white rice
1 1/2 c. cooked chicken breast, cut into small cubes
1/2 large onion, thinly sliced
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 c. chicken broth

Mix together chicken broth and soy sauce.
Bring 1/4 of the mixture to a boil in a small shallow pan.

Add 1/4 of the chicken and onions and cook over medium-low heat until almost done.
Pour 1/4 of the lightly beaten eggs in a thin stream over the chicken and onions.
