Broccoli Frittata
An easy recipe for a healthy broccoli frittata with chicken, red peppers, and plenty of melty cheddar cheese. Perfect for Sunday brunch!
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 40 minutes
Total: 1 hour
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 ounces cooked chicken breast diced or shredded (see notes for suggested recipes)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets chopped
- 1 large red bell pepper or orange, diced
- 3 green onions chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8 large eggs
- ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- Place rack in the center of your oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
- If your chicken is not yet cooked: Cook and shred chicken.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli and peppers and sauté until they are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the green onions, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook 1 additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, then add cheese, chicken, and the vegetables from the skillet. Stir to combine, then pour into the prepared pie dish.
- Bake 40 minutes, until the center is nearly set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove and let sit 5 minutes then serve warm or at room temperature. The frittata will puff while baking, then settle a bit as it cools.
Notes
- A few of my favorite easy ways to prepare chicken breasts include this Crock Pot Shredded Chicken this Baked Chicken Breast, and this Grilled Chicken Breast.
- TO STORE: Leftover frittata will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- TO REHEAT: Warm in an oven, preheated to 350 degrees F, until heated through. You may also microwave gently in a covered container until steaming.
