Ingredients

1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 medium onion - optional
1 tbs olive oil
6 eggs
350 g potato - cooked
200 g leftover roast chicken
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Slice the onion and peppers in to thin strips. Add the olive oil to a deep (25cm / 10”) non stick pan and gently fry the peppers and onion until soft and starting to turn golden. Turn out onto a plate to cool. This can be done ahead of time, and then kept in the fridge in a covered container for a day.
Meanwhile whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
Add the chicken, potatoes, and peppers to the egg. Stir together, and pour the mixture into the frying pan. Use a spatula to gently push the ingredients down so they are covered in the egg,
Cook over a low heat for about 10 minutes until the bottom of the frittata is golden brown (lift and check with a spatula), and set. The top should still be liquid. As it cooks on the hob, heat up your grill.
Cook the top half of the frittata under the grill for a further few minutes until puffed up and golden brown. The frittata should be cooked all the way through: you don't want any of the egg to still be liquid. Check the middle with a knife.
Turn the frittata out onto a serving plate, and enjoy! Serve with a crunchy green salad.

Notes

Simply leave the potatoes out and add more chicken or non starch vegetables to make this paleo and keto
