Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    In an oven-proof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Stir in the shredded chicken, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; cook for another 2 minutes until warmed through.

  4. 4

    In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet.

  5. 5

    Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes until the edges are set, then sprinkle shredded cheese on top if using.

  6. 6

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly puffed up.

  7. 7

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with fresh parsley before slicing and serving.
