King Ranch Chicken Quiche
King Ranch Chicken Quiche - all the flavors of King Ranch Casserole in a quiche! Chicken, Rotel tomatoes, Velveeta, eggs and heavy cream baked in a pie crust. SOOOO good! We ate this for lunch and dinner the same day. You can make this ahead of time and freeze unbaked for later. This is always a hit in our house! Great Mexican quiche!
Chicken, Rotel tomatoes, Velveeta, eggs and heavy cream baked in a pie crust. It tasted just like King Ranch Chicken Casserole in a quiche! Ridiculously good. We ate this for lunch, and Chicken Legs had the leftovers for dinner that night. You can make this ahead of time and freeze it unbaked for later. I have one in the freezer right now for Cinco de Mayo!
*I used shredded Velveeta cheese in this quiche. Walmart sells bags of shredded Velveeta. If you can't find the shredded Velveeta you can use 4 ounces of finely diced Velveeta or a cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Either will work great!*
