Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 large egg whites
• 0.25 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 0.5 cup spinach
• 0.25 cup mushrooms
• 0.25 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
• 1 teaspoon olive oil or cooking spray
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the three eggs into a medium bowl. Add the egg whites and whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Add the salt, ground black pepper, and low-fat cottage cheese to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or cooking spray to coat the pan evenly.

Step 4

Add the spinach and mushrooms to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and any liquid released by the mushrooms has evaporated.

Step 5

Add the diced chicken breast to the pan and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and chicken, tilting the pan gently to ensure the mixture spreads evenly.

Step 7

Cook the omelet on medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes or until the edges begin to set. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges and allow any uncooked eggs to flow underneath.

Step 8

Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly moist on top, carefully fold one side over the other to create a half-moon shape.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the center is fully cooked.

Step 10

Slide the omelet onto a plate and sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
