In less than 10 minutes you can whip up this delicious and healthy lunch idea; a simple omelette filled with chicken, ham, tomato and avocado.
It's January, we're back in lockdown and whilst I don't agree with the whole "new year new me" rhetoric that's around at the moment, I know lots of us are aiming to eat just a little bit healthier this month.
Whether that's because you've had enough of the Christmas chocolates and Baileys, or you just want to feel physically and mentally strong and able to deal with everything that's going on, hopefully some of my recipes can help.
This Chicken & Ham Omelette is quick and easy to make. By using the omelette more like a wrap and stuffing it with all the filling ingredients, it makes it a little more fresh and satisfying than when all the ingredients are cooked into it. That's just my preference though!
Obviously you can completely change up the filling ingredients too. I used slices of deli ham and chicken, along with tomato, avocado and lettuce. But feel free to add whatever you prefer.
I added just a little bit of french mustard to the inside of the omelette but again you can add another condiment if you prefer.

Fab idea. Have been making these for lunch whilst wfh and they taste great. I would never have thought about making an omelette like this but it's so much better than trying to add all the ingredients into the egg whilst it's cooking!
