  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk 6 large eggs until light and frothy.
  4. Add 1/2 cup small-curd cottage cheese, 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/4 cup diced green chiles (canned), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  6. Add 1 1/2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (about 1.5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts). Stir to incorporate.
  7. Evenly spoon the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg cups are set and lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the egg cups cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully running a knife around the edges to loosen.

  11. Enjoy warm from the oven, or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
