This Chicken Quiche features a buttery pie crust filled with a custard of eggs and milk combined with chopped cooked chicken, baby spinach, mushrooms, and Swiss cheese. The ingredients come together to create a rich, hearty savory tart that's baked until the filling is set and lightly browned. The quiche offers a blend of tender chicken pieces with melting cheese and vegetables in a crisp crust.

Ingredients
- DOUGH 9-inch pie crust, refrigerated, for 1
- 7 egg beaten, large
- 2/3 cup milk skim
- 2 cups chicken breast chopped 1/2 inch pieces, or turkey breast, diced, cooked
- 1 cup baby spinach chopped
- 1/3 cup swiss cheese or cheese of your choice, part skim
- 4 ounces mushrooms (chopped 1/2 inch pieces)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme dried
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
- Roll the dough out on a well-floured work surface until it’s approximately 12-inches in diameter. Transfer it to a 9-inch glass deep pie dish.
- Using your fingers, press it firmly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Then fold/crimp the overhanging dough. Prick the bottom and sides of the pie crust all over with the tines of a fork to prevent the crust from bubbling.
- Transfer the pie crust to a cookie sheet and your pre-heated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until par-baked.
- Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl lightly beat the eggs with milk, add the remaining ingredients and pour into the par-baked pie crust.
- Place quiche on cookie sheet, cover the edges of the exposed crust with foil to prevent browning too much and bake on the middle oven rack until the eggs are set and a knife inserted in center comes out clean, for 50 to 60 minutes.
- Let cool before serving.
- Serve with a crisp green salad or maybe some fresh fruit on the side.
