📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. If using a store-bought pie crust, unroll it and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges and set aside. For a homemade crust, prepare it as instructed in your recipe.

3. In a small pot, bring water to a boil and lightly blanch the chopped broccoli florets for 1-2 minutes. Drain and set aside.

4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until well combined. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

5. Spread the cooked chicken evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

6. Layer the blanched broccoli on top of the chicken.

7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the broccoli.

8. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the filling, ensuring it spreads evenly.

9. Optionally, sprinkle a light dusting of paprika over the top for color.

10. Place the quiche on a baking sheet (to catch any potential spills) and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

11. Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

12. Enjoy this warm, savory Chicken and Broccoli Quiche as a hearty meal or pair it with a fresh salad for a lighter option.
