Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup fresh basil (chopped)
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar-sized baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2

Spread the shredded chicken evenly across the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the halved cherry tomatoes, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped basil over the chicken.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and dried Italian seasoning.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and olive oil until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. The batter will be slightly thinner than pancake batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the pie dish. Use a spoon to gently even out the batter so it covers the filling completely.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the pie rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with additional chopped basil or grated Parmesan if desired, and serve warm.
