Chicken And Vegetable Quesadilla Recipes

Steps:

• Coat a large skillet or griddle with cooking spray. Set pan over medium heat to preheat. Using a fork, pull chicken meat from bone in shreds.
• Arrange tortillas on a flat surface. Top 1 side of each tortilla with an equal amount of chicken, mushrooms, red peppers, and artichokes. Top vegetables with shredded cheese. Fold over tortillas, making a half moon. Place quesadillas in (or on) prepared pan and cook 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cheese melts.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the salsa. Gently fold together all the salsa ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to use, up to 4 hours.
• 2. Sprinkle 2 tortillas evenly with half of the cheese. Scatter the chicken, mushrooms, scallions, and basil equally over the cheese. Dot both with sour cream. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
• 3. Place a second tortilla over each, creating a sandwich, or quesadilla.
• 4. Heat a nonstick dry skillet over medium heat. Place a quesadilla in the skillet and cook, turning once, until tortilla browns slightly, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a low oven to keep warm. Repeat.
• 5. Cut each quesadilla into quarters. Top with salsa.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Grease a baking sheet.
• Toss the chicken with the fajita seasoning, then spread onto the baking sheet. Place under the broiler and cook until the chicken pieces are no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the green bell peppers, red bell peppers, onion, and chicken. Cook and stir until the vegetables have softened, about 10 minutes.
• Layer half of each tortilla with the chicken and vegetable mixture, then sprinkle with the Cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and Monterey Jack. Fold the tortillas in half and Place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake quesadillas in the preheated oven until the cheeses have melted, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, place 2 tbsp olive oil and chicken breast. Sprinkle chicken with a thin layer of taco seasoning, turn, and sprinkle the other side. Cook chicken completely through. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute peppers and onion in 2 tbsp olive oil until onions are golden and peppers are soft, about 15-20 minutes. (Optional: sprinkle vegetables with taco seasoning powder.) Remove vegetables from skillet and wipe down the skillet.
• Shred the chicken in small pieces. Reheat the chicken in the medium skillet, adding taco sauce and stirring to mix thoroughly.
• Spray the large skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Place 1 flour tortilla in skillet for 1-2 minutes until it is just beginning to brown. Set aside. Place another tortilla in the skillet. Layer shredded cheese, chicken in sauce, peppers and onions, and baby spinach leaves. Top with additional cheese and replace the first (toasted) tortilla on top.
• Cook the quesadilla, pressing down with a spatula, until bottom tortilla is a bit brown and crispy and cheese is melted.
• Repeat the previous two steps to make a second quesadilla.
• Cut each quesadilla into quarters and serve with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole on the side.
