Chicken Broccoli Bacon Quiche

We needed comfort food today ! We attended the local Murfreesboro Christmas Parade and got chilled... so we came home and decided to make a Quiche.

Robyn had just been to the grocery store and had brought home fresh broccoli and heavy cream.

I found a great recipe that I "doctored" and it turned out fantastic.

INGREDIENTS:

1 - 9" pie crust
1 - cup of heavy cream
3 - eggs
1 - Teaspoon minced garlic
2 - Tablespoons of lemon juice
1 - cup of shredded cheese ( I used a "casserole blend" of shredded cheese - just use what you like best !
1 - chicken breast
1 - part of a head of broccoli
1 - cup of Hormel Real Bacon Bits ( great taste )
Seasonings - I used Tony's and onion powder

METHOD:

preheat oven to 350

• boil 1 chicken breasts ( or a three frozen tenderloins )
• This only takes a few minutes.... chop them up into bite size morsels.and put to the side to cool
• DON'T dump the chicken water !
• Place a couple handfuls of the broccoli florets into the hot water... bring to boil and boil for a few minutes until slightly tender.

• Remove from water and chop

• Beat the eggs
• Add the cream
• Add cheese, garlic, and lemon juice
• Beat
• Add seasonings (onion powder and Tony Chachere's Cajun Seasonings) to taste
• Beat
• Add bacon, chicken, and broccoli
• Stir
• Pour into unbaked pie crust
• Place pie on cookie sheet into oven
• Set timer for 1 hour
• Go take a hot soaking bath

Remove promptly from the oven slice and eat.... YUM
