- 1 1/4 c. low-fat milk (2%)

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In same skillet over medium-high heat, in hot salad oil, cook chopped green onions and ground chicken, stirring frequently, until pan juices evaporate and green onions are tender; stir in chili powder, salt, and half of roasted red-pepper strips; cook 1 minute.
- Spray 10-inch quiche dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon chicken mixture into quiche dish.
- In medium bowl, with wire whisk or fork, mix egg substitute, milk, and 1/2 cup cheese; pour over chicken mixture. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup cheese, then remaining roasted red-pepper strips over quiche. Lay 5 green-onion tops about 1 1/2 inches apart across top of quiche. Lay remaining 5 green-onion tops diagonally across first ones to make a lattice design.
- Bake quiche 25 to 30 minutes until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
