A mouthwatering Chicken, Squash and Courgette Frittata recipe taken from the Four Seasons Cookbook. If you have leftovers from cooking a whole chicken or roasting joint, this is a great way to use up a few pieces of any cooked meat. This light eggy dish makes a tasty lunch, and you can eat up the leftovers cold the next day.
Ingredients
- Cold-pressed rapeseed oil 1 tbsp
- Leek 1, trimmed and sliced
- Prepared butternut squash 150g (5oz), thinly sliced

- Add the courgette, salt and pepper, thyme and chicken and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until everything is heated through
