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.
