Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk together until the mixture is smooth and the egg whites and yolks are fully combined.
Prepare your fillings by dicing the cooked chicken breast into small chunks, and finely chopping the red bell pepper.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and let it heat up for about 1 minute.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and use a spatula to gently pull the edges of the omelet into the center, tilting the pan slightly to allow any uncooked eggs to fill in the edges. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is set and the top is still slightly runny.
Evenly distribute the cooked chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, spinach leaves, and red bell pepper on one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the fillings.
Let the omelet cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the eggs to finish cooking. The bottom should be a pale golden brown.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
