Ingredients
• 8 ounces seasoned, baked chicken- shredded or cubed
• 2 unbaked 9 inch pie crust
• 3 cups 2% Mexican Blend Cheese - Shredded
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 5 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 1/2 cups skim milk
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers, drained
Instructions
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• Place crust in a 9 inch pie plate. Sprinkle chicken inside of crust. In a small bowl, combine Cheddar cheese, Monterey jack cheese and flour. In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, cream, onion and green chilies. Add cheese mixture; stir well. Pour mixture into pie crust.
• Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, until set. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
**Cooks Note– You can use canned fat free evaporated milk instead of regular skim milk. It gives it a more velvety texture. However it is excellent made with either.
**I use frozen 9″ Deep Dish Pie Crusts for this.
** This is good served hot or cold. It stores and freezes well.
