Now this has become my favorite omelette thus far! Why? It has CHICKEN! hahaha! I guess I just love chicken. You do not need to rack your brain about what to do with left over chicken. It may be to small for a full meal but when you shred you can use as stuffing.

Chicken Mixed Veggie Stuffed Omelette – FAQs
1. What chicken is best for the stuffing?
Cooked, shredded or diced chicken breast or thigh works well. Leftover roasted chicken or quick pan-seared chicken are both great options.
2. What vegetables can I include?
Common choices are bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, and carrots. You can customize based on your preferences or what’s in season.
3. How do I prevent the omelette from breaking?
Cook the eggs on medium-low heat and avoid flipping until the bottom is set. Fold gently over the filling once it’s ready.
4. Can I add cheese?
Yes! Cheese like cheddar, mozzarella, or feta adds creaminess and flavor. Add it with the veggies before folding.
5. How many eggs should I use?
Usually 2–3 eggs per serving make a nicely sized omelette.
6. What sides go well with this omelette?
Serve with toast, fresh fruit, or a light salad for a balanced meal.
