Description

A quick and satisfying cheesy chicken omelette packed with flavor, perfect for busy mornings.


Ingredients

Omelette Base

  • 2-3 large eggs Large eggs
  • 1/2 cup Cooked chicken, chopped or shredded (Rotisserie, leftover, or fresh chicken can be used.)
  • 1/3-1/2 cup Shredded cheese (Cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss work well.)
  • 1-2 teaspoons Butter or oil (For the pan.)
  • Salt and pepper (To taste.)

Flavor Boosters

  • Garlic powder, paprika, chili flakes, hot sauce, Dijon, or taco seasoning (Choose to add for extra flavor.)

Optional Vegetables

  • Spinach, chopped pickled jalapenos, caramelized onions, or roasted veggies (Pre-cook juicy vegetables to avoid a watery omelette.)


Instructions

Preparation

  1. Chop your cooked chicken and get your cheese ready. If using spinach or onions, quickly cook them first.

Cooking

  1. Crack 2 to 3 eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and a little paprika or garlic powder; whisk until blended.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low to medium heat. Add butter and let it melt.
  3. Pour in the eggs and swirl the pan to spread them evenly.
  4. Wait until the edges of the eggs look set but the top is slightly glossy.
  5. Add the chopped chicken and cheese on one half of the omelette, being careful not to overstuff.
  6. Gently fold the other half over the filling.
  7. Cook for another 30 to 60 seconds until the cheese melts, then slide onto a plate.

Notes

For a fluffier omelette, use lower heat and do not overload with filling. Covering the pan for a short time can help the top set evenly.
