Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.
Shred the cooked chicken breast into small pieces and place it in a mixing bowl. Add the smoked paprika, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated with the paprika mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
Spread the seasoned chicken evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and green onions over the chicken.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the filling, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Carefully place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Smoky Chicken Quiche!
