Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chiles (drained)
• 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 0 to taste sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, taco seasoning mix, and drained diced tomatoes with green chiles. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken with the seasoning.

Step 3

Spread the chicken mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the chicken mixture, creating a cheesy layer.

Step 5

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, then whisk until fully combined with no lumps.

Step 6

Slowly pour the batter over the cheese and chicken layers in the pie dish, ensuring it covers the filling evenly.

Step 7

Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pie is set in the center.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve with a dollop of sour cream on the side.
