Cooking With Pia : Grilled Chicken and Tomato Omelette

Looking for a healthy, easy, breakfast recipe? Meet the omelette, your new tasty, best egg, friend!

It's not late breaking news that breakfast is the most import meal of the day. Nor is it that eggs and the omelette are morning staples. Heck, omelettes are an afternoon and evening staple too, but for right now, let's just work on mastering it in the morning shall we? Eggs are a fantastic source of protein, and your options for "add-in's" are literally infinite. A real left-over cleaner-upper, omelettes are the definition of a healthy, easy, recipe. Whatever you want and like can go into, and usually work, in an omelette. Today, it's chicken and tomato, but it's entirely up to you.

Knowing that, here are the necessary ingredients to make an outstandingly tasty, healthy, omelette:

3 large eggs
3 tablespoons skim milk
1 cooked chicken breast, sliced into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
Salt and Pepper to taste
Pam

And once you've got everything you need to make the world's healthiest, tastiest, omelette, here's your video scorecard should any of the steps above be confusing:

1. Heat a nonstick saute pan over medium-low heat.
2. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of milk for each egg, and then beat together until the mixture turns a pale yellow. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk again.
3. Spray the saute pan with Pam.
4. When the pan is hot enough to make a drop of water sizzle, pour in the eggs. Let them sit until they begin to form a pale yellow rim around the pan.
5. With a heat-resistant rubber spatula, gently push on edge of the egg into the center of the pan, while tilting the pan to allow the still liquid egg to flow in under neath. Repeat until all of the liquid begins to solidify and there is only a slight sheen on top.
5. Sprinkle the chopped tomatoes and sliced chicken onto half of the circle of eggs.
6. Gently flip half of the egg pancake to create a semicircle with your chicken and tomatoes in the middle.
7. Cook until there is no more uncooked egg. If you can, flip the omelette so both sides turn a nice golden color.
8. Gently slide the omelette onto a plate, and enjoy!

Breakfast can be about more than those terrible Fruit Loops you've been eating since you were a kid. It can get your motor running for the entire day if done properly. An omelette will open up a whole new world for you, help you build muscle through better nutrition, and allow you to eat clean while actually enjoying what you're eating... And if you're making breakfast for "company," Fruit Loops doesn't always fly.
