Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked chicken (shredded)
• 2 cups Fresh spinach (chopped)
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 medium Yellow onion (diced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for 5 minutes or until translucent. Next, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 3

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, spinach mixture, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until evenly distributed. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using).

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and all-purpose flour until smooth. This will form the batter for the 'impossible' crust.

Step 6

Spread the chicken, spinach, and cheese mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish.

Step 7

Pour the batter mixture evenly over the top of the filling. Gently tilt the pie dish if necessary to ensure the batter covers the filling completely.

Step 8

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A knife inserted into the middle should come out clean.

Step 9

Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Impossible Chicken Spinach and Cheese Pie!
