Ingredients
- •Chicken Breast, Grilled(170g)

- •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)

Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9-inch pie dish or cast-iron skillet with olive oil and set aside.
- 2Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and bell pepper, cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli begins to soften and the peppers are tender-crisp.
- 3Add the green onions and fresh garlic to the skillet, cook 1 minute over medium heat until fragrant, then remove from heat and set aside.
- 4In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until well combined. Stir in the sharp cheddar, cooked chicken, and the vegetable mixture from the skillet until evenly distributed.
- 5Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie dish and transfer to the preheated 350°F oven.
- 6Bake 40 minutes until the center is nearly set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
- 7Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes at room temperature.
- 8Divide evenly into 6 portions, refrigerate in airtight containers, and reheat gently in a 300°F oven for 8–10 minutes or eat cold.
