Ingredients
- •Chicken Breast, Grilled(170g)
Boneless skinless. Buy in bulk and freeze — Costco rotisserie packs work too.
- •Olive oil(15g)
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •Broccoli(480g)
- •Bell Pepper
- •Green Onion (Scallion)
- •Garlic(120g)
- •1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- •1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- •Egg, Whole, Large
- •Cheddar Cheese(120g)
Instructions
- 1Place rack in the center of your oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
- 2If your chicken is not yet cooked: Cook and shred chicken.
- 3Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli and peppers and sauté until they are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the green onions, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook 1 additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 4In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, then add cheese, chicken, and the vegetables from the skillet. Stir to combine, then pour into the prepared pie dish.
- 5Bake 40 minutes, until the center is nearly set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove and let sit 5 minutes then serve warm or at room temperature. The frittata will puff while baking, then settle a bit as it cools.
