Chicken Omelette Roll

Whether it's for ourselves at work or our kids at school , making a quick lunch box that's sumptuous can be a mammoth task. Healthy meals needn't be boring and lunch boxes don't have to be filled with the same old stuff. This Omelette Roll filled with Chicken, that I often put in the school lunch box, was my daughter Shreya's favourite.

Ingredients :

Chicken breast                                  1
Cucumber                                         1
Carrot                                               1small
Red Capsicum                                   1/4th
Coriander Leaves                              1/4 th cup
Eggs                                                  8
Tomato                                              1
Salt                                                    as per taste
Black Pepper Powder                        as per taste
Refined Oil                                        4 tsp







Method :

We will need 1 bbq chicken piece, shredded or you can marinate a breast piece of chicken and then cook it in a  non stick griddle till soft and then shred.
The cucumber needs to be peeled and cut into very thin strips.
Grate the carrot coarsely or it can also be peeled and cut into very fine strips like the cucumber.
Discard the seeds and cut the capsicum into thin strips as well.
Discard the seeds and cut tomato.
Combine the shredded chicken,Tomato, cucumber, carrot , capsicum, and coriander . Sprinkle a little salt and pepper powder. Mix all well.
Heat 1 tsp oil in a non stick frying  pan , keep it on medium flame.
Beat 2 eggs till fluffy and spread on the pan to make a very thin omelette. Cook for one or two minutes until its set. Then, slide it carefully on to a plate.
Make omelettes in the same manner with the other eggs as well, and then get ready to assemble.
Put the chicken mix, earlier prepared in the center of the omelette and roll it. Fold the ends so that the filling doesn't come out. Repeat the same with the remaining omelettes.
Fill them into lunch boxes or have them hot with any sauce of your liking.
