Chicken and Spinach Omelette

2016 Kids Recipe Challenge Winning Recipe: 2nd Place! [Breakfast]

Sam and Sammie in Mrs. Einwechter’s class in Paris, Ontario created this class favourite. They suggest that kids help wash and rip the spinach and crack the eggs. Enjoy with a glass of milk.

This unique combination makes for a protein rich start to your day. Kids will like the colour and flavour of this omelette and will be happy to help make it too. This is also great recipe to use leftover chicken.
