King Ranch Chicken Quiche

King Ranch Chicken is one of my all-time favorite casseroles. I love everything about it! We have a lot of versions of the casserole on the blog, but there isn’t a quiche version. I had to give it a try! OMG! SOOOOO good! SO good.

Chicken, Rotel tomatoes, Velveeta, eggs and heavy cream baked in a pie crust. It tasted just like King Ranch Chicken Casserole in a quiche! Ridiculously good. We ate this for lunch, and Chicken Legs had the leftovers for dinner that night. You can make this ahead of time and freeze it unbaked for later. I have one in the freezer right now for Cinco de Mayo!

*I used shredded Velveeta cheese in this quiche. Walmart sells bags of shredded Velveeta. If you can’t find the shredded Velveeta you can use 4 ounces of finely diced Velveeta or a cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Either will work great!*
