Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 pieces egg whites
- 150 grams cooked chicken breast, diced
- 50 grams fresh spinach, chopped
- 0.5 pieces bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 pieces onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the egg whites, and whisk together until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
In a non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the diced chicken breast and chopped spinach to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the chicken is heated through.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan, swirling to cover the entire base of the frying pan evenly.
Allow the eggs to cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny.
Gently fold the omelette in half and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully set. Slide the omelette onto a plate.
For the creamy herb sauce, mix Greek yogurt, dill, parsley, lemon juice, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Stir until well combined.
Cut the omelette into portions, serve with a dollop of creamy herb sauce on top, and enjoy your high-protein savory meal.
