Ingredients

6 oz chicken breast or thigh, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 large pasture-raised eggs
1 Tbsp butter (for cooking)

Preparation

Season the diced chicken (6 oz) with smoked paprika (1 tsp), garlic powder (½ tsp), onion powder (¼ tsp), sea salt (¼ tsp), and black pepper (¼ tsp). Melt the butter (1 Tbsp) in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and slightly crispy on the edges. 

Push the chicken to one side of the skillet and reduce heat to medium. Crack the eggs (2 large) into the open side of the skillet. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, or to your preferred doneness. 

Sprinkle chopped parsley (1 Tbsp) over the top if desired. Drizzle lightly with olive oil (1 Tbsp) before serving.

Greg lays out a framework for structuring CrossFit workouts around metabolic conditioning, gymnastics, and weightlifting. By varying workout duration, movement combinations, and intensity, the template creates different training demands while developing broad work capacity across multiple time domains.

The central idea is that effective programming is not random variation. It requires deliberate decisions about which movements to combine, how long workouts should last, and what adaptations each session is intended to produce. The template provides a structure for creating constantly varied workouts without losing sight of the larger goal: improving overall fitness.
