Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chiles (drained)
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- to taste sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, taco seasoning mix, and drained diced tomatoes with green chiles. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken with the seasoning.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish.
Sprinkle the shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the chicken mixture, creating a cheesy layer.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, then whisk until fully combined with no lumps.
Slowly pour the batter over the cheese and chicken layers in the pie dish, ensuring it covers the filling evenly.
Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pie is set in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve with a dollop of sour cream on the side.
