• 1 piece pre-made pie crust
• 1 cup cooked chicken breast (shredded)
• 2 cups fresh spinach

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Unroll the pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges if desired, and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add fresh spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, black pepper, and grated parmesan cheese until smooth.

Step 5

Spread the shredded chicken evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Add the sautéed spinach on top of the chicken.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the spinach and chicken layer.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust, ensuring it spreads evenly over the filling.

Step 8

If desired, lightly sprinkle paprika on top of the filling for an extra touch of color and flavor.

Step 9

Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 10

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Grandma's Chicken Spinach Quiche!
