Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9-inch round casserole dish with parchment paper, or generously grease with nonstick cooking spray.
Heat a medium-size skillet over medium heat and add the butter to melt. Add the shallot and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes, until the shallots begin to soften.
Season the chicken with the salt and pepper and add to the skillet.
Adjust the heat to medium-high if needed, and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally to brown all sides of the chicken, then remove the skillet from the heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, and cheese, then set aside.
Layer the cooked chicken and shallot mixture and the vegetables in the prepared casserole dish.
Pour the egg mixture over everything and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the vegetables are tender.
