Impossible Chicken & Broccoli Pie

Long long before the Internet, I ran across this Bisquick recipe in a magazine.

Quiche with no crust!  Yay! 

I made it for potlucks and family get-togethers when I was single, and numerous times since I met my husband, even more since my son was born. 

When I was single, I enjoyed a glass of wine (or two) when doing my minimal cooking.  This often led to sloppily measured ingredients not always within the perfect parameters of the recipe, generally leading to creative upsizing.

This lovely recipe ‘originally’ calls for a layering of the chicken, cheese and, broccoli first then you pour the milk, egg & Bisquick mixture on top.  For whatever mad reason, I would always feel it never had enough Bisquick so I’d dump the whole thing in to a big bowl, add more then mix.  Next I found myself adding more milk to offset the Bisquick, which would lead to a larger bowls going through this adjusting process again and again until my counter top was spattered and cluttered. 

After using all of my mixing bowls, of course I then needed more than one baking pan. 

Still to my food fortune, whatever consistency I agreed to, it came out wonderful.  And also, it is a good thing this dish freezes well for later meals!

But talk bout doing dishes till dawn!  (Or in the dawn, lol)

the variations of this recipe are endless……ham and broccoli, ham and green beans, cheddar cheese or mixed with mozzarella – and it is not limited to frozen veggies, I often use fresh.

Note:   I believe the Bisquick people have re-named it “impossibly easy chicken & broccoli pie”.
