Chicken And Broccoli Pie

You won’t believe your eyes. This is an ‘impossible pie’.  With all the cheese, it is pretty awesome. Can be used for a luncheon…small chilled, green salad or for even a brunch on a holiday weekend.

 

  • 1  300 g pkg. frozen chopped broccoli
  • 3 cups grated Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1  1/2 cups cooked (leftover) chicken, skin removed
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup whipping cream
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4  Bisquick baking mix
  • pinch each of salt and freshly ground pepper

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 10 inch pie plate.

Rinse broccoli under cold water to thaw and then drain completely. Mix the broccoli, 2 cups of the cheese, chicken, and onion together. Set aside.

Beat the milk, eggs, Bisquick, salt and pepper until smooth (20 seconds in the blender or 60 seconds with a hand beater).

Stir the broccoli mixture into the milk mixture and then pour into pie plate.

Bake until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean (35-40 minutes).
Top with the remaining cup of cheese and bake another 2-3 minutes until; melted. Cool at least 5 minutes before cutting into slices and serving.

It comes out with a ‘pastry’ bottom and you won’t believe it. Impossible? Nah!
