Crack the three eggs into a medium bowl. Add the egg whites and whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Add the salt, ground black pepper, and low-fat cottage cheese to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or cooking spray to coat the pan evenly.
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.
Add the diced chicken breast to the pan and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and chicken, tilting the pan gently to ensure the mixture spreads evenly.
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.
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.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the center is fully cooked.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
