This is my all time go to quiche!! I have been baking it since the 90's. I had a Tea Room and it was the most requested by far. I have served it for wedding showers and baby showers. I do use the canned chicken breast and the liquid that comes with it. It takes 2 of the large cans and there is enough liquid for the recipe.
