Ingredients & Substitutions

Chicken: It's best to use small chicken pieces, boiled shredded chicken, leftover chicken as it perfectly blend with the flavor of tomato sauce and eggs. I love to use thick ground chicken breast.

Eggs: Use any white or brown eggs. Monitor the quantity of eggs to make the thick and think fold of omelette. This recipe is good to serve for 2 people. Increasing the quantity of egg will make the thick layer of omelet which is safe to stuff the chicken without breaking. Check the tips section of this post to get perfect result.

Veggies: Play with different options of veggies that you like. I love to use onion and dill/soya as it makes good combination and aroma. Spinach, broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, capsicum, asparagus and small dices of potatoes can be used.

Tomato Paste: Used store bought tomato paste.

Cheese: Preferred to use mozzarella, cheddar, feta, parmesan or velveeta. It will add a cheesy flavor that blends so well with eggs and chicken.

Butter: Used salted butter, olive oil or any other vegetable oil can be a substitute.

Seasoning: Simple salt, black peppers and paprika is enough to use.
