Ingredients

• 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
• 1 cup Chicken breast, cooked and shredded
• 0.5 cup Carrot, diced
• 0.5 cup Broccoli florets, chopped
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, diced
• 0.25 cup Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 0.75 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 pieces Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pre-made pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges. Using a fork, gently prick the base of the crust to prevent puffing during baking.

Step 3

Place the pie crust in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and sauté the diced carrot, chopped broccoli, red bell pepper, and onion for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly tender. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Place the shredded chicken on the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Evenly distribute the sautéed vegetables over the chicken.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken and vegetables.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling, making sure it covers all ingredients.

Step 9

Carefully place the quiche in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
