Author's Tips

This chicken omelette is easy to prepare and is a great choice for lunch or breakfast, especially if you have leftover roasted chicken.

Tips

Use your leftover grilled or roasted chicken. You can do this in a multicooker, slow cooker, or just roast or boil it. Then simply chop it up. Store in the refrigerator or freezer what you won't use for the omelette.
Do not add other ingredients to the eggs except for small pieces of butter! Milk will make the omelette watery.
When you pour the eggs into the pan, tilt it to spread the mixture evenly across the bottom. Cook on low heat to avoid drying out the eggs.

Variations

You can use cheese or any kind of cheese you have on hand.
Add finely chopped herbs, like green onions or parsley, for more flavor.
You can also add a bit of cream cheese to the roasted chicken for extra taste and creaminess.
