Ingredients

• 1 piece Store-bought pie crust (9-inch, unbaked)
• 1.5 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Butter (for greasing the pie dish, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

If using a store-bought pie crust, gently place it into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it evenly along the edges. Trim any overhanging dough for a clean edge.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Spread the shredded chicken evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the chicken layer.

Step 6

Pour the egg and cream mixture into the pie crust, distributing it evenly over the chicken and cheese layers.

Step 7

If desired, garnish with chopped green onions on top for added flavor and color.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the quiche to the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the quiche to cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps it set further and makes slicing easier.

Step 10

Enjoy your chicken quiche warm or at room temperature. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated as needed.
