Ingredients for the dough:
- 200 g flour
- 100 g cold butter, diced
- 1 egg
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2-3 tablespoons of cold water

Ingredients for the filling:
- 300 g chicken breast, diced
- 200 g mushrooms, sliced (champignon or any preferred mushrooms)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 eggs
- 200 ml cooking cream
- 100 g cheese (brie, mozzarella, or cheddar), grated
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil or butter, for sautéing

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Preparing the dough: In a bowl, combine the flour and salt, then add the diced butter. Use your fingers to incorporate the butter into the flour until you achieve a sandy texture. Add the egg and mix well. Start adding cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough becomes smooth and holds together. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. Preparing the filling: Meanwhile, in a skillet, heat a little olive oil or butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent. Then, add the mushrooms and continue to cook until all the water evaporates. Finally, add the diced chicken and cook until golden and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Assembling the quiche: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a thin sheet. Place it in a tart pan, trimming the edges to fit. Prick the base with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.

4. Filling the quiche: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the cream and add the grated cheese. Incorporate the mushroom and chicken mixture into this composition and mix well. Pour the filling over the dough in the pan.

5. Baking: Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is set. Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

6. Serving: Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature, alongside a fresh green salad. You can also add some tomato slices or a yogurt sauce for an extra touch of freshness.

Practical tips:
- If you don't have time to make the dough from scratch, you can use store-bought puff pastry, which will significantly reduce preparation time.
- Experiment with different types of cheese or add fresh herbs like dill or parsley to enhance the flavors.
- The quiche keeps well in the refrigerator and can be reheated, making it ideal for pre-prepared meals.
