I love the taste of the chicken in this dish! Next time I'll be sure to whisk the mayo mixture more thoroughly. I too had to cook this about 10 min longer than listed. I rated it 4 stars since the flavor is so very rich.

If I could give this more stars, I would! It was Perfection in a Pie Pan! This was the best quiche I've ever had, by far! Perfectly balanced - wonderful, creamy texture. Just delicious. I used a from scratch pie crust that I had extra & frozen from Christmas. I used the leftover from a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. The only things I slightly altered were, using fresh mushrooms instead of onions, using 1 full cup of spinach, and just adding in a bit of paprika. Truly fabulous! Thank you - I will never need to look for another quiche recipe again!

Men do love quiche! Especially this recipe. My husband and sons ate it all up. I used canned chicken breast-sooo easy!! Yum with a crusty bread and salad.

Wow! This was great! All I had in the house was about 1/2 cup of mayonnaise and after picking a carcass clean of chicken, I managed to get probably about a 1/2 cup of chick too but this turned out wonderful! I also added about 1/4 tsp. nutmeg which I think gave this a great flavor.
