Keto Chicken Omelet
Description
The Keto Chicken Omelet is made by scrambling eggs seasoned with salt, paprika, and pepper, then cooking them in a well-greased, preheated pan. Cooked chicken pieces, chopped baby spinach, sliced bell pepper, and a spoonful of salsa are added onto half of the eggs. The omelet is folded over the fillings and cooked briefly on both sides to set the egg and heat the ingredients through.
This omelet has a soft texture from the gently cooked eggs, combined with the tender chicken and crisp-tender bell pepper. The salsa adds a fresh, slightly tangy moisture that contrasts the mild eggs and vegetables.
It makes a satisfying keto-friendly entrée for breakfast or a light meal. Greasing the pan well prevents sticking, which is especially important when cooking omelets to retain their shape.
The omelet is best flipped only once it is mostly cooked to avoid tearing. Using a silicone spatula helps lift and fold it gently.
Ingredients
- 3 egg
- ¼ cup chicken chopped, cooked
- pinch salt
- ¼ cup baby spinach chopped
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ½ bell pepper sliced
- ⅛ cup salsa
Instructions
- Scramble the eggs and seasonings in a small bowl.
- Pour the eggs into a pre-greased and pre-heated pan over medium heat.
- Layer on the vegetables, cooked chicken, and salsa over one-half of the eggs.
- Let it cook until it’s starting to bubble and the eggs are almost cooked through. Use a silicone spatula to flip the other side of the omelet over the vegetable mixture.
- Cook for 1 more minute before flipping the omelet and searing the other side for a minute. Serve.
Notes
- Grease the pan well, especially if using a cast-iron skillet, to prevent the omelet from sticking.
- Season the finished omelet with salt and pepper to taste.
- Flip the omelet only when the eggs are mostly set to avoid tearing.
- Use a silicone spatula to fold and flip the omelet gently.
