Description

Imagine biting into a warm, satisfying omelet sandwich, its fluffy eggs embracing a molten core of creamy mozzarella. The sharp, peppery bite of arugula cuts through the richness, while succulent shredded chicken provides a hearty, protein-packed foundation. This isn't just a sandwich; it's a complete and flavorful experience designed to keep you feeling full and energized.

Served alongside, a vibrant salad of ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, and creamy avocado offers a refreshing counterpoint to the richness of the omelet. The sweetness of the tomatoes, the herbaceous aroma of basil, and the smooth texture of avocado create a symphony of flavors and textures that dance on your palate. A light drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients, creating a simple yet elegant accompaniment.

This meal is thoughtfully composed to provide a balance of healthy fats, ample protein, and a serving of low-carb vegetables. When planning a single, substantial meal for the day, it's essential to prioritize nutrient-dense foods that will keep you feeling satisfied and nourished. Opting for protein sources like poultry, eggs, or seafood ensures you're getting the building blocks your body needs.

Incorporating healthy fats from sources like olive oil, avocado, or even coconut oil is crucial for sustained energy and overall well-being. Rounding out the meal with a selection of low-carb vegetables like leafy greens, cauliflower, or celery adds valuable vitamins, minerals, and fiber. This recipe utilizes flavorful cooked chicken, with the skin on for added richness.

You can easily use pre-cooked chicken or transform leftover chicken into a delectable and convenient meal. Feel free to tailor the ingredients to your liking.

Instructions

    1.
    Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the grated mozzarella, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Beat together well to combine. You may add more or less oregano to suit your personal taste.
    2.
    Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over a medium heat. Pour the beaten egg mixture into the skillet and swirl around so that it coats the base of the pan in an even layer. Let the egg settle and cook through until no liquid remains on top. This should only take a few minutes.
    3.
    Carefully slide the omelet out of the skillet and onto a large plate. Scatter the arugula over one half of the omelet. Roughly tear the cooked chicken into bite-sized chunks. Arrange the chicken pieces over the arugula. Fold the empty half of the omelet over the filled side to create your OMAD sandwich.
    4.
    Thinly slice the avocado and cut the tomato into wedges. Roughly chop the basil. Add the tomato, avocado, and basil to a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Toss to combine. Serve the salad alongside the omelet sandwich.
