Once all the rage at ladies' luncheons, a quiche is still as popular as ever. This slimmed-down version is simple and sensational! It’s a great recipe for using up things you might already have on hand, chicken, spinach, and eggs. Serve for brunch, lunch, or for dinner. Add a side salad and you’re set. Each serving has 227 calories and 5 grams of fat.
Ingredients
Ingredients for Quiche:
- 3 packed cups fresh spinach leaves, chopped or torn
- ¾ cup onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 2 cups frozen Ore Ida diced hash brown potatoes (not thawed, not shredded), see shopping tips
- 1 cup cooked chicken breasts, diced (skin removed)
- 2 eggs, see shopping tips
- 4 egg whites
- ⅔ cup from a (10¾ oz) can Campbell’s Healthy Request cream of chicken soup (condensed)
- ¼ cup fat-free milk
- ½ teaspoon Lawry’s seasoning salt
- Black pepper, to taste
Ingredients for Topping:
- ½ cup light mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 9 x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, add chopped spinach, onions, and garlic. Cook for 1 minute, in the microwave, to soften.
- In a large bowl, mix together frozen hash browns, chicken, cooked spinach, and onions. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, ⅔ cup condensed soup, milk, seasoning salt, and black pepper. Pour over potato mixture and toss to mix. Add mixture to baking pan. Be sure to spread the chicken and spinach around the casserole. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle with both kinds of cheese. Bake uncovered, an additional 20 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Let it sit for 10 minutes to set. Cut into 6 slices. Using a spatula, carefully remove each slice.
- This casserole freezes great. I like to wrap into individual servings and store in the freezer. Great for a quick meal any day of the week!
Notes
Shopping Tips
Diced frozen hash brown potatoes can be found in the freezer section of most supermarkets. Ore Ida is the most popular brand. They come diced and contain no fat, just potatoes. Diced potatoes work much better for this recipe than shredded ones. Whenever a recipe calls for using eggs, I love Eggland’s Best eggs! They have less saturated fat, less cholesterol, more Vitamin D, more Vitamin E, and double the Omega 3 than regular eggs. Most supermarkets see them in the egg aisle.

This looks really good. If frozen, what’s the best way to reheat this?
Thanks, Lori. I usually reheat in the microwave.
Enjoy!

What is the point of condensed soup?? Couldn’t it be healthier and less calories by leaving it out?
Connie, I use the condensed soup to add moisture and to hold it together. But if you don’t want to use it, maybe add plain non-fat Greek yogurt or a combo of yogurt and low-fat cottage cheese. I hope this helps!
My best,
