Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges and crimp the edges for a decorative finish.

In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add broccoli florets and sauté for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until fully combined.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded cooked chicken, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, sautéed broccoli, chopped parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper into the egg mixture.

Step 6

Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust.

Step 7

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 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy!
