Start your day off with a satisfying, protein-packed breakfast like this quiche. Use the leftover grilled chicken from last night’s dinner to toss together a fast breakfast. Try adding in chopped vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes to sneak in some extra vegetables. Did I mention that quiche doesn’t have to be reserved just for breakfast? Make this for a weeknight meal and keep everyone’s palates happy and stomachs full.
