    1. Hi Jess. “each” is just a unit identifier sometimes used if there isn’t something like “cups” or “oz”. It really doesn’t mean anything. It sometimes helps in a sentence setting such as if we said “Use 2 each, 4 oz steaks”. That looks better than “Use 2 4 oz steaks” since it separates the 2 and the 4 and arguably makes it clearer. We don’t always use it in the ingredients list and I think it does make it a little less clear in this case since this recipe is a recipe for 2 people.

      Anyway, when it says “1 each chicken breast” it just means 1 chicken breast. When it says “1 each egg” it just means 1 egg. It doesn’t mean per person or anything, that is total for the recipe.

  1. Just curious are the frozen cauliflower rice or the frozen broccoli pre cooked before combining or frozen? Thanks!
