Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
6 ounces button mushrooms, trimmed, coarsely chopped
2 limes
1/2 cup Greek-style plain full- or low-fat yogurt
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro, plus whole leaves for serving
2 medium carrots (about 4 ounces each), peeled
1 medium mango, thinly sliced
5 ounces baby spinach (about 4 packed cups)
4 (10") flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 8 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Stir cumin, 3 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken and mushrooms and toss to coat. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 165°F, 15-17 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, juice limes to yield 6 Tbsp. juice. Blend yogurt, 3 Tbsp. lime juice, and 3 Tbsp. cilantro in a blender until smooth.
  • Shave carrots with a vegetable peeler lengthwise into ribbons (or use the large holes of a box grater). Whisk 1 Tbsp. oil and remaining 3 Tbsp. lime juice, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Add carrots and mango; toss gently to coat.
  • Remove baking sheet from oven, arrange spinach over chicken, and continue to roast until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board, leaving spinach on sheet, and thinly slice.
  • Arrange tortillas on a work surface. Dividing evenly, layer cheese, chicken, mushrooms, and spinach on one side of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half to create half-moons.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tsp. oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-low until hot. Cook 2 quesadillas, turning once, until cheese is melted and tortillas are browned, 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer quesadillas to serving plates, then cook remaining quesadillas with remaining 1 1/2 tsp. oil.
  • Sprinkle quesadillas with cilantro leaves and serve with yogurt sauce and carrot-mango slaw alongside.
  • Do Ahead
  • Chicken and mushrooms can be cooked and yogurt sauce can be made 4 days ahead; cover and chill.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Choose the Right Mushrooms: You can use any type of mushrooms for this recipe, but some common choices include white button mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, or shiitake mushrooms.
  • Cook the Mushrooms Properly: To get the best flavor and texture from your mushrooms, cook them over medium heat until they are browned and tender.
  • Use a Good Quality Tortilla: The type of tortilla you use will make a big difference in the final product. Look for a tortilla that is fresh and pliable.
  • Don't Overfill the Quesadilla: When you are assembling the quesadilla, don't overload it with fillings. This will make it difficult to fold and cook evenly.
  • Cook the Quesadilla Slowly: Cook the quesadilla over medium heat until it is golden brown and crispy. This will help to melt the cheese and ensure that the quesadilla is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Chicken and mushroom quesadillas are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
