Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup cooked chicken breast
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 4 stalks green onions
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by finely slicing the cooked chicken breast into thin strips. If it is not already cooked, you can quickly boil or sauté a chicken breast for this step.

Step 2

Chop the green onions into fine rounds, separating the white and the green parts.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are a uniform mixture.

Step 4

Add the cooked chicken strips, bean sprouts, half of the sliced green onions (use both white and green parts), soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Stir everything together until well combined.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, pour about a quarter of the egg mixture into the skillet, forming a small pancake-sized omelet.

Step 7

Cook the omelet for about 3-4 minutes or until the edges start to set and you see bubbles forming on the surface.

Step 8

Carefully flip the omelet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the cooked Egg Foo Young to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 10

Once all the omelets are cooked, garnish with the remaining fresh green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy your Low Carb Egg Foo Young warm.
