This chicken omelette is a delicious breakfast and a great way to use up any leftover chicken you might have in the fridge.

This omelette is easy to make, perfect for feeding a crowd, and even works for meal prep. And the best part is that any part of the chicken works. Simply shred the leftover chicken and add it to the omelette.

This recipe is easy and inexpensive to make. You probably already have all ingredients at home. I like to stick to the basics, so grab your non-stick pan and let’s get to work.

What You Need to Make This Chicken Omelette

Of course, the most important part of the recipe is the chicken. I used leftover rotisserie chicken, but feel free to use any chicken you have on hand.

Ingredients:

Rotisserie chicken – I used a mix of breast and thigh. If making with uncooked chicken, roast in the oven or grill before making the omelette.
Eggs
Onion
Tomato
Cheese – use whatever you have at home. I used cheddar.
Horseradish
Sea Salt
Black Pepper
Chives (optional)
Avocado (optional)

How To Make a Chicken Omelette

This chicken omelette recipe is so easy and straightforward. Make sure to have all ingredients before you start cooking because eggs burn quickly.

Preheat the non-stick pan to medium heat. Cook the onion and tomato until the onion is transparent.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs along with the horseradish, sea salt, and black pepper. Beat the eggs until frothy.

Pour the egg mix over the onion and tomato. Using a spatula, push the edges as they settle. This will ensure the eggs cook evenly and there are no wet pools.

Cover for a few minutes so the top cooks as well. It should be slightly wet when you add the chicken, onion, and cheese to one side of the omelette.

Using the spatula, flip the empty side on top of the ingredients and turn the heat off.

Transfer to a plate and garnish with chives and avocado slices.

Do I have to re-heat the chicken before adding it to the omelette?

If using leftovers straight from the fridge, then it might be better if you heat it up. Whether you microwave it or heat it up on the stovetop before adding the eggs, it doesn’t matter, as long as the chicken is safely reheated.

What kind of skillet should I use?

To accommodate 3 eggs and cook them evenly, you will need a medium non-stick skillet. Don’t use a small pan where the eggs will be cramped and not cook all the way through. Also, make sure it has a lid.

What goes good with a chicken omelette?

I like to have sliced avocado and sour cream on the side. But you can add whatever you want. A slice of bread will soak up the spicy horseradish if the heat is too much.
