This is a great recipe for parties. I freeze the leftovers; they reheat quite well. The zesty chicken and cooked peppers are a succulent delight when mixed with the melted cheeses. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

12 large flour tortillas
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 cups grated cheese (Monterey Jack is the best)
2 pounds skinless chicken breasts
Pico de Gallo, for serving, recipe follows
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons taco or Cajun seasoning mix
1 large onion, cut in half and then into slices
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
1 yellow bell pepper
12 tablespoons butter, for frying
12 Roma tomatoes (slightly under ripe is fine)
3 yellow or red onions
2 cups fresh cilantro leaves
2 to 3 jalapenos
1 lime
Salt

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper and taco seasoning. Add the chicken to the skillet and saute over medium-high heat until done, about 4 minute per side. Remove from the skillet and dice into cubes. Set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet over high heat. Throw in the onions and peppers and cook until the peppers have a few dark brown/black areas, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Sizzle 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat and lay a flour tortilla in the skillet. Then build the quesadillas by laying grated cheese on the bottom tortilla, and then arranging the chicken and cooked peppers. Top with a little more grated cheese and top with a second tortilla.
  • When the tortilla is golden on the first side, carefully flip the quesadilla to the other side, adding another 1/2 tablespoon butter to the skillet at the same time. Continue cooking until the second side is golden. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
  • Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with Pico de Gallo.
  • Dice up equal quantities of tomatoes and onions. Roughly chop the cilantro.
  • Now, slice 1 or 2 jalapenos in half. With a spoon, scrape out the seeds. (If you like things spicy, leave in some of the white membranes.) Dice the jalapenos very finely; you want a hint of heat and jalapeno flavor, but you don't want to cause any fires. Now dump the four ingredients into a bowl.
  • Slice the lime in half and squeeze the juice from half the lime into the bowl. Sprinkle with salt, and stir together until combined. Be sure to taste the pico de gallo and adjust the seasonings, adding salt or more diced jalapeno if needed.

Tips:

  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will make quick work of blending the chicken and vegetables. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a food processor, but you may need to pulse it more times to get the desired consistency.
  • Don't overfill the blender: If you overfill the blender, the ingredients won't blend evenly. Fill the blender no more than two-thirds full.
  • Add a little liquid: If the blender mixture is too thick, add a little bit of broth or water to help it blend. You can also add a little bit of olive oil to help the mixture come together.
  • Season the mixture well: Be sure to season the chicken and vegetable mixture well with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to flavor the quesadillas.
  • Use a large skillet: When cooking the quesadillas, use a large skillet so that you have plenty of room to flip them. If you use a small skillet, the quesadillas may not cook evenly.
  • Cook the quesadillas over medium heat: Cook the quesadillas over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning. If you cook them over too high heat, they may burn on the outside before they are cooked through on the inside.
  • Serve the quesadillas immediately: Quesadillas are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to ensure that they are crispy and delicious.

Conclusion:

Blender chicken quesadillas are a quick and easy weeknight meal that the whole family will love. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a blender, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
