How to make Chicken quiche

Crust

  1. Put flour, butter, egg, salt and the water medium size bowl.Flour-egg-butter-honey-gp-SunCakeMom
  2. Work the butter and egg into the flour until it comes together by hand. A lot depends on the moisture content of the flour. If the dough is too dry and flaky, pour a little bit more water over the mixture. If it still sticks to the bowl or onto our hands after ten minutes of kneading then add a bit of more flour to it.Butter-egg-flour-water-gp-SunCakeMom
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a circle shape, the  size of our baking tray.Pie-crust-process-gp-SunCakeMom-3
  4. Place dough onto the tray, fit or tweak it if needed.Pie-crust-process-gp-SunCakeMom-4
  5. Put a heavy round object on top of the dough to keep the crust down or use pie-weights if available.
  6. Place it in the pre-heated oven for 15 minutes until the crust hardens then remove the weight.Pie-crust-process-gp-SunCakeMom-6
  7. Poke the dough with a fork. Pie-crust-process-gp-SunCakeMom-7
  8. Put it back into the oven for another 10-15 minutes until slight golden brown spots starts to emerge at the sides.Pie-crust-process-gp-SunCakeMom-8
  9. When it is done, take tray out. Meanwhile the crust is baking, prepare the filling.

Filling

  1. Pour oil into a saucepan, heat it up and add the diced onions with half of the salt.Onion-diced-oil-gp-2-SunCakeMom
  2. Saute the onion until it gets a glassy / translucent look on high heat for about 5 minutes.Onion-diced-glassy-translucent-gp-1-SunCakeMom
  3. Lower the heat to medium – low and caramelize the onions for about 15 – 20 minutes.Onion Diced GP SunCakeMom
  4. When the nice looking golden brown spots are largely apparent, add garlic, chicken and increase the heat.Chicken quiche recipe - SunCakeMom
  5. Sprinkle another part of the salt on top then saute the chicken until all sides turn white for about 5 – 10 minutes.Chicken quiche recipe - SunCakeMom
  6. Beat the eggs while mixing in the cream and milk. Optionally cheese can be added and cream or milk can be substituted with one another.Quiche-recipe-Process-16-SunCakeMom
