Ingredients
Scale
For the chicken filling:
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 small bell pepper (any color), finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the omelette:
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for a fluffier omelette)
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella works great)
- Optional: Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the chicken filling:
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Add the shredded chicken, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until the chicken is warmed through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the egg mixture:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk (if using), and whisk until fully combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cook the omelette:
- Heat the butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the whisked eggs, tilting the pan to spread the mixture evenly. Cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, or until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny.
Add the filling:
- Sprinkle the cheese (if using) over one half of the omelette, then spoon the chicken filling on top. Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling using a spatula.
Finish cooking:
- Cook for another 1–2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the omelette to cook through.
Serve:
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh parsley or chives, and enjoy while hot!
