Crunchy-Gooey Chicken Quesadillas

Recipe #279399 | 30 min | 25 min prep | add private note

Jan 16, 2008

This may be just about the easiest dinner you'll fix your family! It is low on ingredients and high in flavor. These make a great appetizer too. I have even served these at parties!

SERVES 10 -12 , 12 Quesadillas (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Boil the chicken breasts until they are fully cooked and remove from heat.
  2. 2
    Once the chicken has cooled for a bit, use a fork and shred the chicken into a mixing bowl. (It should be a bit stringy).
  3. 3
    Add the 1 cup of Salsa, and mix the chicken and salsa until the salsa is thoroughly covering the chicken.
  4. 4
    Heat up a frying pan or skillet to a medium to medium high heat.
  5. 5
    Take a flour tortilla and spoon out some of the chicken and salsa mix onto one half of it. ADD ENOUGH GRATED CHEESE TO YOUR DESIRED TASTE.
  6. 6
    Fold the filled tortilla in half and place on the greased (Pam Cooking Spray) fry pan or skillet.
  7. 7
    Cook until golden brown and then flip and cook the other side.
  8. 8
    Spray the frying pan between quesadillas to prevent sticking.
  9. 9
    *Optional: You can cut the quesadillas into thirds to make it easier to eat.
  10. 10
    *Optional: Enjoy these with guacamole and salsa, refried beans and tortilla chips!

These went over so well although most of the people who ate this dish didn't seem too keen on the salsa and I used a mild/medium salsa...I think maybe next time I will try it without but keep the rest. I also used cheddar cheese rather than the monterey jack or colby-monterey jack. Thanks for sharing this recipe, it's easy and very, very good!!

    We really enjoyed this dish ~ THESE QUESADILLAS ARE GREAT all the way around! I used a medium salsa (which is plenty hot for me) & the colby-jack! Thanks for sharing your KEEPER! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in the current Pick-A-Chef]

    Made for Spring PAC 2008. This was good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I had precooked chicken in my freezer. So I pulled that, thawed and shredded. This made for a quick and easy lunch.

    This is a fantastic and simple dish. Avocados are fresh right now and that and some sour cream makes a great lunch. Made for Spring Pick-a-Chef.
