Ingredients

  • Dough for single-crust pie
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup diced cooked chicken
  • 5 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese into crust.
  2. In a large bowl, combine chicken, spinach, onion and remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Spoon into crust. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, milk, mayonnaise, salt and pepper; pour over chicken mixture.
  3. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting.
