- Tomato - I love adding tomato to omelettes to get some more vitamins and minerals and add a beautiful red color.

- Mozzarella cheese - what is better than melted cheese? If you are lactose intolerant or dairy free simply leave this out of the recipe. You could also swap this for any type of cheese you prefer.
- Salt and pepper - simple spices complete this omelette recipe to give it the best flavour.
- Coconut oil - this is used to cook the omelette so that it doesn't stick to the pan. You could swap this for another cooking oil such as butter, olive oil, avocado oil or ghee.
Recipe variations and add ins:
- To make this omelette dairy free, paleo or Whole30 compliant: omit the cheese from the recipe.
- To lower the carbohydrate count even more: omit the tomatoes.
- Feel free to add other vegetables such as mushrooms, asparagus or peppers.
- Feel free to use whatever type of cheese you like to make this omelette.

How to make a chicken omelette:
- Step 1: First, in a bowl, whisk the eggs until they are smooth.
- Step 2: Place a large pan on the stove on low heat and add the coconut oil. Once the oil is melted, pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper and let them cook for a few minutes until the edges are starting to brown.
- Step 3: Now add the cut chicken, cheese, tomato and spinach to half of the omelette and allow it to cook for a few more minutes.
- Step 4: Lastly, use a spatula to fold the omelette in half and cook it for a few more minutes, until the omelette is golden and cooked through.
Top tips:
- Be sure to use a large enough pan to cook your omelette. I recommend a 12 inch pan.
- Don't skimp on adding oil to the pan. You want to be sure that the eggs won't stick to the pan when they cook.
- Let your pan heat up before adding the eggs. They will cook better this way.
How to serve a chicken omelette:
This omelette is delicious served as is but you could also top it with salsa, ketchup, sliced avocado, guacamole or hot sauce. It's also pairs well with air fried toast, simple air fryer hash browns, Instant Pot cooked bacon or air fryer Italian sausages.
Chicken omelette FAQs:
This will all depend on how many people you are serving and what their portion sizes need to be, but in general, anywhere between 2-4 eggs are typically used.
You can pair omelettes with many different side dishes. Some options include hash browns or cooked potatoes, bacon, a fruit salad, other fruit or oatmeal.
