Chicken Enchilada Quiche

This is a family favorite. The recipe only calls for one pie crust, but you need 2.

1 Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crust (from 15-oz box), softened as directed on box
4 eggs
1 cup half-and-half or milk
1 can (12.5 oz) chunk chicken breast in water, drained (1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups broken tortilla chips
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (8 oz)
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
1 cup Old El Paso® Thick 'n Chunky salsa
1 can (4.5 oz) Old El Paso® chopped green chiles
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste, if desired
Sour cream, if desired
Old El Paso® Thick 'n Chunky salsa, if desired


1 . Heat oven to 350°F. Place pie crust in 9- or 9 1/2-inch glass deep-dish pie pan as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie.
2 . In medium bowl, beat eggs with wire whisk until blended. Beat in half-and-half. Stir in chicken, chips, both cheeses, 1 cup salsa, the green chiles and salt. Pour into crust-lined pan. Sprinkle pepper over top of filling.
3 . Bake 55 to 65 minutes or until crust is light golden brown and knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Cut into wedges. Serve with sour cream and/or salsa.

i am sooo not much of a cook, but this even looks like something i can do. and i do love me some chicken enchiladas. my only question (please dont make fun of me for asking-like i said-not much of a cook) is why do we need "2" crusts? i'm sure you have plenty of other people to chat with so if anyone can answer this question i would greatly appreciate it. dont wanna cook it wrong you know.

As a Wisconsinite, that cheese appeals to me! I'm going to make it with tonight's chicken leftovers! Thanks.

Sounds fantastic. We do have quite a few vegetarians in the family, but substituing black beans for the chicken should work out great. I have to give this a try.
