Grilled Chicken Quesadillas

Recipe #297948 | 1¼ hours | 20 min prep | SERVES 10 -12 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: cherylbean

Takes a bit of time to make, but there are never any left on the plate!! Not spicy so kids LOVE them too. I was playing around with some thawed chicken one day and came up with this recipe on my own. The ingredients are approximate, but they are delicious!
