Ingredient Notes
- Chicken breasts – Trim off extra fat, but there’s no need to do anything else.
- Evaporated milk – If you don’t have evaporated milk on hand, you can use half-and-half in the same amount or a combination of whole milk and heavy cream.
- Chopped broccoli – Use chopped rather than florets so that the pieces are bite-sized.
- Onions – Fresh diced is best, but onion powder or minced dried onion will work in a pinch.
- Shredded cheese – I like using sharp cheddar, but you could also try white cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyere.
Crustless Broccoli Chicken Quiche Directions
Step 1: Spray 5-6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray. (I often use these liners to eliminate any potential sticking.) Place chicken breasts in the bottom and cover with broccoli.
Step 2: Cook covered 6-8 hours on low or until chicken is tender. Pull chicken apart with forks.
Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk together baking powder, salt, garlic powder, evaporated milk and eggs. Stir in diced onion, parsley and cheese. Add red pepper flakes, if using.
Step 4: Pour egg mixture over broccoli and shredded chicken.
Step 5: Turn the heat to high. Cover and cook for one hour until set, and the cheese is melted. Serve and enjoy!
