Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook. This is a delicious dish to kick-start your weight loss and will keep you filled so you won't be doing any unnecessary snacking or eating. Fritattas orginated in Italy so this is an East meets West dish for breakfast, lunch or dinner and it can be made in about 15 minutes. If you don't have any leftover chicken, season and cook a 6-8 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast on a grill pan over medium-high heat, 5 minutes per side. This egg dish comes out of the oven puffy and golden with crisp edges and it's a hacienda in your mouth. Leftover fritatta can stay in the fridge for 2-3 days covered and easily reheats in low oven or microwave.
