Why It Works

• The combination of shredded chicken, zucchini, and goat cheese creates a flavorful and satisfying filling.
• The flaky, buttery pie crust provides a sturdy base for the quiche and helps to keep the filling moist.
• The creamy egg mixture sets perfectly in the oven, resulting in a fluffy and tender texture.
• Baking the quiche on a parchment-lined baking sheet helps to prevent it from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
