Instructions
- In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure even distribution, and cook until the edges start to set, about 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle the cooked chicken, sautéed mushrooms, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions evenly over one half of the omelette.
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with extra green onions if desired, and serve hot.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in your favorite herbs or spices before cooking.
- Feel free to substitute the cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese, such as feta or Swiss.
