Instructions
Make the Chicken Rice
Cook diced chicken in a pan over medium heat until no longer pink about 4 minutes. Add cooked rice peas ketchup and soy sauce and stir fry everything together for 2 minutes until well combined and heated through.
Prepare the Egg Mixture
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl per serving and whisk until fully combined. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and set aside while you heat the butter in a non stick pan over medium low heat.
Cook the Omelette
Pour the whisked eggs into the buttered pan and swirl to create an even thin layer. Cook gently for about 1 to 2 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still just slightly soft and glossy.
Fill and Fold
Spoon half the chicken rice onto one side of the egg then carefully fold the omelette over the filling and slide onto a plate. Squeeze ketchup on top in fun patterns for kids to enjoy.
