Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 0.5 cup bell pepper, diced
  • 0.5 cup red onion, diced
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
  • 0.5 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.25 cup salsa (for serving)
  • 0.25 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.

Step 3

Add the diced bell pepper, chopped onion, and jalapeño (if using) to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded chicken and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm it through. Transfer the mixture to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat slightly and pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring it spreads evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.

Step 6

Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over one side of the omelette. Then add the cooked chicken and veggie mixture on top of the cheese.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese and chopped cilantro over the chicken and veggie mixture.

Step 8

Using a spatula, gently fold the other side of the omelette over the filling. Press lightly to seal and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully cooked.

Step 9

Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot with salsa and sour cream on the side, if desired.
