Sauté the chicken: Heat a frying pan with 1 tbsp of extra-virgin olive oil. Add the chicken dices and sauté until cooked through. Add the vegetables and sauté them until soft.

Prepare the fried rice: Sauté the ingredients together, add a bit of tomato ketchup to the pan and mix them together for a few minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside the fried rice.

Prepare the omelette: Beat 2 large eggs in a bowl and heat a frying pan over medium heat. Start cooking the egg mixture in a pan by making a large, thin omelette.
