Why Make This Recipe

Chicken and tarragon omelette is a delightful dish that combines the creamy texture of eggs with the flavorful taste of tarragon and chicken. It’s not only nutritious but also easy to make. This recipe is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner. Plus, it comes together quickly, making it an ideal choice for busy individuals or families.

How to Make Chicken and Tarragon Omelette

Ingredients

1 leek, thinly sliced
2 tbsp vegetable or chicken stock
4 tbsp fat-free quark or fat-free natural cottage cheese
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh tarragon
1 cooked chicken breast, skin removed, cut into small dice
Low-calorie cooking spray
4 large free-range eggs, beaten
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 plum tomatoes, halved
½ cucumber, finely chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 120C/100C Fan/Gas ¼.
Put the leeks and stock in a small saucepan and cover. Cook for 5–6 minutes, or until the leeks are tender and all the liquid is absorbed. Season and stir in the quark, tarragon, and chicken.
Spray a 20cm/8in frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over high heat.
Season the eggs, then add half to the pan. Cook by pushing the cooked egg into the center and allowing the runny egg to flow into its place until no runny egg is left.
Spoon half the chicken mixture into the middle of the omelette. Flip one side over the chicken, then the other side to encase the filling. Roll the omelette onto a plate and keep warm while you cook the second one.
Meanwhile, toss together the tomatoes and cucumber. Serve the omelettes with the cucumber salad.

How to Serve Chicken and Tarragon Omelette

Serve the chicken and tarragon omelette warm, with a side of the fresh cucumber and tomato salad. This dish is vibrant and satisfying, making it a complete meal.

How to Store Chicken and Tarragon Omelette

If you have leftovers, store the omelette in an airtight container and place it in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to 2 days. Reheat in a microwave or on the stovetop before serving.

Tips to Make Chicken and Tarragon Omelette
