Big Chicken and Cheese Omelet

One of the secrets to this recipe is the proportion of chicken to egg ratio. You can make this with much less chicken and more egg and have a more traditional, eggy omelet, which would be delicious for sure, but this version highllights the chicken and the jalapeno. It would be great for a lunch recipe as well.

Ingredients

• 1 jalapeno peppers, diced
• 2 large eggs
• 6 ounces cooked chicken
• 2 ounces shredded Mexican cheese
• Chili powder to taste
• Spray oil

Cooking Directions

• Heat a large frying pan to medium heat and lightly coat with spray oil
• In a mixing bowl, beat eggs about 1 minutes, or until they are thoroughly mixed
• Add eggs to frying pan and cook about 1 minute, or until bottom of egg begins to set
• Add cooked chicken and cheese. Sprinkle with chili powder.
• Fold egg up over chicken and cheese to cover, then cook about 1 more minute to allow cheese to melt. Flip egg if needed.
• Serve!
