Can I make this quiche without the pie crust?
I’ve only made it the way the recipe says, but it would probably work.
Can I use chicken breast already cooked from the deli. I usually buy my baked chicken from the deli as it quicker for me. I just wasn’t sure if putting already cooked chicken breast in the recipe would cause the chicken to be too over cooked and dry since you use raw frozen chicken in your recipe.
Yes, I think that would work fine.
Yum!!!!
can i sub something for the carnation milk ??
Use whole milk or cream as a substiution
