are deviled eggs healthy?
THIS VERSION definitely is. The egg, being a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals, high-quality protein and disease-fighting nutrients like carotenoids and choline, is a favorite for many of us. So easy to cook and so good to eat! And what better way to cook than with chicken inside making it more flavorful as well as healthier? Win-win!
What you need for the no mayo deviled eggs
You will need hard-boiled eggs, minced chicken, onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, chili powder or cayenne pepper, yogurt and cilantro with some chives and paprika for garnishing. It might seem like a lot of ingredients for a deviled egg recipe, but the cooking part is quite straight forward. The only hard part is to prevent yourself from finishing off the filling before putting it into the egg whites!
How to make deviled eggs without mayo
Hard boil the eggs
Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover completely with cold water and set to boil on high heat. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium and let it simmer for 8 minutes. Remove the eggs and plunge them in ice water for 5 minutes. This way the eggs are perfectly cooked and are easy to peel. Peel and slice them into halves lengthwise. Remove the yolks carefully with a small spoon and mash.

Notes
- You can use the left-over filling for sandwiches or wraps which taste great! The leftover filling keeps well in the fridge for 2 to 3 days (if you’ve used fresh eggs).
- If you are using leftover chicken or for this recipe, mince the chicken and add at the end of step 2, just before turning off the heat. Reduce the spices since the roast chicken may already have some flavor.
- Chicken can be replaced with minced shrimps.
- For vegetarian options, replace the chicken with minced firm tofu or vegetables of your choice (grated carrots, finely chopped beans, cauliflower, peas, potatoes).
