Low Fat Chicken Omelet
Use Egg Whites Only
Low Fat & Low Carb Omelet
This restaurant recipe for a Low Fat Chicken Omelet is low fat primarily because the omelet is made only with egg whites (no yolks). But you should also know it is a low carb recipe as well! Just substitute tomato slices or some freah fruit for potatoes.
Eggs provide protein, vitamin A, riboflavin and other vitamins and minerals. But did you know that one egg white contains about 15 calories and no fat? The yolk contains all the fat - and some carbs.
That is why some restaurant guests order omelets made only from the egg whites.

Freshly ground pepper to taste
3 ounces warm, cooked, diced chicken, divided
2-3 tablespoons warm, cooked, chopped broccoli
2-3 tablespoons seeded, diced tomatoes

Heat a 7-10 inch egg pan over moderate heat
While the pan is heating, beat egg whites and pepper in a mixing bowl until blended but not frothy
Spray the pan once with vegetable oil and then spray again
When the pan is hot enough to sizzle a drop of water, add the egg whites
Let the eggs sit until they begin to cook around the edges
With a spatula lift edges and tip pan so egg mixture runs underneath
Continue this process until the top is thickened and very little liquid egg remains
Spoon the broccoli and half of the cooked chicken across the bottom of the omelet
Add the fat free mozzarella cheese if you’d like
Fold omelet in half and top with tomato and other half of chicken
