    Recipe Variations

    It's super easy to make this chicken frittata your own. You can easily swap in different veggies, like spinach, asparagus or peas or swap the parsley for another fresh herb, like cilantro, chives or dill. Try adding in some cooked bacon pieces or add some shredded cheese to the top.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What's the best chicken to use?

    I like to use cooked chicken breast in this recipe, I used my lemon and rosemary chicken for an extra layer of flavor, but you can use plain. You can also use cooked chicken thigh or leftover rotisserie or roast chicken. Just make sure that the chicken is fully cooked before adding it to the skillet.

    How long does is keep?

    Frittatas are great for meal prep in the week. Once baked, let your chicken frittata cool before covering and placing it in the fridge. It will keep well for up to 4 days. You can eat the frittata cold or reheat it.

    What do you serve it with?

    You can easily enjoy this frittata by itself for breakfast, with a side salad for brunch or lunch or with more heartier veggie and potato sides for dinner. There really is no wrong answer here! Try it with some of these recipes:
    Caprese Salad
    Oven Baked Fries
    Garlic Broccoli
    Fried Potatoes

    Recipe Notes and Tips

    • It’s best to avoid adding watery vegetables like zucchini or your frittata can end up soggy.
    • Don’t have the stovetop on too high a heat, when you add the egg mixture the bottom will burn.
    • Move the frittata to the oven when the egg starts to solidify but the top is still liquid-y. You can use a spatula to check the egg.
    • Let the frittata sit in the pan for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
