EASY CHEESY CHICKEN QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Place 3 of the tortillas on a work surface. Top the tortillas with half of the cheeses, then the chicken, then the remaining cheeses. Top the filling with the remaining tortillas. Spread outsides of the quesadillas with the butter.
• Heat a flat pan, large skillet, or griddle over medium heat. Add the quesadillas, one at a time, and cook, pressing down with a spatula, until bottoms are browned, about 2 to 4 minutes. Turn quesadillas and cook second side 2 to 3 minutes or until the tortillas are browned and crisp and the cheeses melt.
• Remove the quesadilla with a spatula to the work surface and cut into quarters. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Serve immediately with salsa for dipping.

CHEESY CHICKEN QUESADILLA RECIPE

Steps:

• Place your top oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat baking mat.
• Add the cooked, shredded rotisserie chicken to a large bowl and set aside.
• In a smaller bowl, combine the sour cream and taco seasoning stir to combine.
• Add one-half cup of the seasoned sour cream to the shredded chicken and season with additional salt and black pepper. Gently stir to combine. Note: Reserve the remaining seasoned sour cream for serving.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a chunk of butter and spread over the bottom of the skillet with a spatula as it melts. Add a tortilla to the hot skillet and toast on one side for about 1 minute, or just until golden brown. Note: We are only toasting one side of the quesadilla.
• Transfer the toasted tortilla to the prepared baking sheet, toasted side down. Carefully wipe out the skillet with a clean, damp cloth, then add another chunk of butter. Once the bottom of the skillet is coated, add a second tortilla.
• While the second tortilla is toasting, add one-sixth of the chicken mixture and one-quarter cup of the shredded cheese to one half of the non-toasted side of the first tortilla.
• Fold the tortilla over and press down with a spatula to set. Repeat until all tortillas are toasted and transfer them to your baking sheet.
• Place the baking sheet in the pre-heated oven for 8-10 minutes, or just until the cheese is melted and the quesadilla is heated through.
• Remove from oven and cool slightly before cutting each quesadilla into wedges. Serve with lime wedges, diced avocado (or guacamole), pico de gallo, and the remaining seasoned sour cream on the side.

BECKY'S CHEESY CHICKEN QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Chicken Preparation:.
• Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
• In a small bowl, combine seasonings.
• Pound chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness.
• Season both sides of chicken breasts.
• Grill chicken breasts for 8-10 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
• Allow chicken to cool for 10-15 minutes and then slice into thin pieces.
• Chicken may be broiled instead of a grilled per your preference.
• Quesadilla Assembly:.
• On two dinner plates, place one flour tortilla onto each.
• Sprinkle each evenly with 1/2 cup shredded cheese (1/4 cup on each).
• Arrange sliced chicken breast evenly attop each cheese layer.
• Cover each chicken layer with tomato slices (6 slices on each).
• Sprinkle each evenly with cilantro (1 tbs. on each) and scallions (1 tbs. on each).
• Sprinkle each evenly with remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese (1/4 cup on each).
• Top with remaining two flour tortillas (one on each).
• Cooking the Quesadillas:.
• While assembling the quesadillas, preheat an electric griddle to 350 F (or grill to medium-high heat). I use a griddle (rather than a grill) to cook quesadillas, as it is easier to turn them without losing their insides.
• Brush 1 tbs. olive oil onto the griddle, covering the surface.
• Brush the remaining 1 tbs. olive oil onto the top exposed flour tortilla.
• Gently slide each quesadilla from each dinner plate onto the griddle (olive oil-less side down).
• Cook for 5-7 minutes or until bottom tortilla begins to brown.
• With a large spatula, gently but swiftly turn each quesadilla to brown other side.
• Cook for 5-7 minutes or until bottom tortilla begins to brown.
• Remove to a cutting board and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
• Slice into eighths.
• Serve immediately with garnish of your preference. I like to use sour cream, salsa or guacamole.
