Chicken, Spinach & Cannellini Bean Quesadillas Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by DeliciouslyDished

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 -2 cups seasoned, cooked and diced chicken breast meat
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced red bell pepper
1 banana pepper, diced
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (heaping) TBSP all purpose flour
3/4 cup chicken broth
4 cups fresh baby spinach, stems removed, coarsely chopped
1 (15.5-ounce) can of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
Cooking spray
Flour tortillas
Shredded cheese (Monterey Jack, cheddar or a combination of the two works well here)
Avocados, diced
Fat free sour cream

Steps:

  • In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, red bell pepper and banana peppers. Season with the crushed red pepper flakes and salt and pepper. Saute until veggies have softened, 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for another minute or two. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir to combine. Cook while stirring for several minutes so that the flour loses its raw taste. Whisk in the chicken broth and stir until bubbly and smooth. Add the baby spinach and continue cooking for another minute or two or until spinach has wilted. Stir in the cooked chicken and cannellini beans and remove from heat. Spray a large skillet or griddle with cooking spray. Heat over medium to medium-high heat. Place one tortilla on griddle and spread cheese over tortilla. Spread chicken, bean and spinach mixture over one half of the tortilla. Check underside of tortilla and when browned a bit, flip the half with just cheese over the half with the chicken. Remove from heat and cut into slices. Top with diced avocado and sour cream, if desired.

These quesadillas were a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed them. I think I would use less chili powder next time.

These quesadillas are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some corn or black beans to them.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my quesadillas fell apart when I tried to flip them.

I made these quesadillas with whole wheat tortillas and they were still delicious. I also added some avocado and salsa, which made them even better.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the quesadillas didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked.

These quesadillas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.
