Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper chopped
  • 1/2 cup spinach optional
  • 1/2 cup cheese cheddar or feta
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions, bell peppers, and spinach until softened.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  • Stir in the cooked chicken and cheese.
  • Pour the mixture into the skillet with vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes until edges begin to set.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for extra flavor. For a dairy-free version, use almond or oat milk and dairy-free cheese. To make it vegetarian, substitute chicken with tofu or extra vegetables.
