Utilising your left over chicken pieces perhaps from a whole chicken is a great way of using up left over food.
If you are looking for an easy chicken and bacon quiche recipe then the below tried and trusted quiche is quick and really simple to make, tasting amazing.
This quiche recipe can be either cooked ahead and eaten cold or cooked ready from the oven to eat with a lovely green salad and roasted vegetables.
I tend to use a pre purchased pastry case (savoury) for the this recipe although you can of course bake your own pastry case ready to receive the filling.
