Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 2 large Egg whites
• 2 tablespoons Skim milk
• 100 grams Cooked chicken breast, diced
• 1 small Green bell pepper, diced
• 1 small Red bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 medium Onion, diced
• 50 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and skim milk until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper, and set aside.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the skillet, and sauté for about 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 4

Stir in the diced chicken breast and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the chicken to heat through.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables and chicken in the skillet.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently push the cooked portions of the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Cook until the eggs are mostly set, but still slightly runny on top.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet.

Step 8

Carefully fold the omelet in half, covering the cheese with the other side. Allow it to cook for another minute to melt the cheese and finish cooking the eggs.

Step 9

Slide the omelet onto a plate, cut in half, and serve immediately.
