Who doesn't love breakfast for dinner? I can't say that I know a single person who would turn down a good old fashioned "brinner." This weekend was chaotic and overwhelming in all the best ways, so when Sunday night rolled around, I was looking for something quick, easy, and wholesomely comforting for dinner.
With a dozen eggs in the refrigerator and a package of chicken that needed to be cooked, I decided that I was long overdue for a savory omelet. With so many allergies, I cannot have a lot of the typical "add-ins," so I turn to fresh herbs to season my dairy free chicken and egg omelet.
Ready for an egg-tastic dish that is delicious enough to serve for breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Give this recipe a try!
Ingredients
2 large eggs
Chicken (to your liking)
Sea salt
Pepper
Basil
Instructions
Prepare baked chicken
Trim fat off chicken breast and slice into cutlets
Season with pepper and sea salt on both sides
Bake at 400 degrees until cooked through, flipping cutlets every five minutes
Some people have expressed disbelief at that fact that I cook my chicken at 400 degrees as opposed to 350, but I have found that cooking it at the higher temperature and frequently flipping actually leads to a juicier chicken breast (Note that cooking time will vary based on how thick you slice your chicken breasts)
Once cooked, dice chicken
Spray a frying pan with cooking spray (I use soy-free Vegalene Buttery Delite, which doubles as a non-stick spray and a butter-flavored seasoning spray)
Heat over medium-high heat until "flicking" water into the pan sizzles
Whisk two large eggs in a small bowl, and then pour into heated skillet
Reduce heat to medium
Add diced chicken to one half of the eggs
Season by generously sprinkling sea salt, pepper, and basil
When eggs start to bubble, use a spatula to carefully fold the half without chicken onto the half with the chicken, allowing uncooked eggs to flow between the setting edges
Cook for a minute and flip, continuing until both sides start to turn golden
Transfer to plate and enjoy your mouth-watering dairy free chicken and egg omelet!
