Chicken Broccoli Quiche – Kid Friendly Recipe

Chicken and Broccoli Quiche



I know quiche doesn’t seem like the most kid-friendly food, but my boys actually LOVE this recipe…as in, they actually ask for it! And I love that it is made with milk instead of cream or half-and-half, which means fewer calories/fat.

 

It takes about 15 minutes to throw together and then just pop it in the oven for a hearty meal…any time of day! We typically eat it for dinner, but it would be great for breakfast, brunch, or lunch! :)  If your family isn’t crazy about broccoli, you could always add a different veggie like spinach or red/yellow peppers.

 

Chicken and Broccoli Quiche

Frozen Pie Crust
Can of Chicken (or 1 full breast, cooked and shredded)
5 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 an onion, diced
1 cup broccoli florets (very thin sections)
1 Tablespoon butter
1 cup cheddar cheese, plus a little more to sprinkle on top

 

*Before getting started, pull out your frozen pie crust and set it on the counter to thaw…

    Hi – I’m definitely going to try this. It looks delicious. You might want to edit your ingredients to include the 1/2 onion though. I don’t think it was listed. Thanks!

    To Emily; the directions say “according to package directions”, so if yours doesn’t say that, I would not do it.
