Chicken Quesadilla Recipes

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:

• 1. Spray large skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Add chicken and undrained tomatoes; cook 10 minutes or until chicken pieces are no longer pink in centers and liquid has evaporated, stirring frequently.
• 2. Spread chicken mixture evenly onto bottom half of each tortilla to within 1 inch of edge. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese over chicken mixture on each tortilla. Fold each tortilla in half to cover filling.
• 3. Clean skillet. Spray with additional cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Cook quesadillas 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Cut into wedges to serve.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, combine the first 6 ingredients. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until heated through, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. , Brush 1 side of tortillas with butter; place buttered side down on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spoon 1/3 cup chicken mixture over half of each tortilla; sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese. , Fold plain side of tortilla over cheese. Bake at 375° until crisp and golden brown, 9-11 minutes. Cut into wedges; serve with sour cream and guacamole.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper and taco seasoning. Add the chicken to the skillet and saute over medium-high heat until done, about 4 minute per side. Remove from the skillet and dice into cubes. Set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet over high heat. Throw in the onions and peppers and cook until the peppers have a few dark brown/black areas, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• Sizzle 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat and lay a flour tortilla in the skillet. Then build the quesadillas by laying grated cheese on the bottom tortilla, and then arranging the chicken and cooked peppers. Top with a little more grated cheese and top with a second tortilla.
• When the tortilla is golden on the first side, carefully flip the quesadilla to the other side, adding another 1/2 tablespoon butter to the skillet at the same time. Continue cooking until the second side is golden. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
• Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with Pico de Gallo.
• Dice up equal quantities of tomatoes and onions. Roughly chop the cilantro.
• Now, slice 1 or 2 jalapenos in half. With a spoon, scrape out the seeds. (If you like things spicy, leave in some of the white membranes.) Dice the jalapenos very finely; you want a hint of heat and jalapeno flavor, but you don't want to cause any fires. Now dump the four ingredients into a bowl.
• Slice the lime in half and squeeze the juice from half the lime into the bowl. Sprinkle with salt, and stir together until combined. Be sure to taste the pico de gallo and adjust the seasonings, adding salt or more diced jalapeno if needed.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F.
• Place 6 tortillas around sides of 15x10x1-inch pan, with edges of tortillas overlapping as necessary and outer halves of tortillas extending over sides of pan. Cover opening in center of pan with 1 of the remaining tortillas.
• Sprinkle half the cheese over tortillas on bottom of pan; top with chicken, beans, corn, tomatoes and onions. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Place remaining tortilla over quesadilla filling in center of pan. Fold extended edges of bottom layer of tortillas over remaining filling to completely cover filling. Place another baking sheet over quesadilla; press top baking sheet gently into quesadilla to flatten slightly.
• Bake 20 to 25 min. or until heated through. Remove top baking sheet. Serve quesadilla topped with sour cream and aioli.

Steps:

• In a skillet, combine the first 6 ingredients.
• Over medium heat, cook uncovered, for 10 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
• Brush one side of tortillas with butter.
• Spoon 1/3 cup chicken mixture over half of unbuttered side of each tortilla.
• Sprinkle with 1/3 cup of cheese; fold in half.
• Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• Bake at 475 degrees for 10 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.
• Cut into wedges; serve with sour cream and guacamole.

Steps:

• Spread 2 tbsp salsa onto each tortilla, then evenly top one of them with the beans, spring onion, chicken and cheddar. Scatter with coriander, if you have it. Sandwich with the other tortilla, then brush with oil.
• Heat a large non-stick frying pan, then cook the tortilla, oil-side down, for 4 mins. Carefully turn over with a palette knife (or by turning it out onto a plate, sliding it back into the pan), then cook for 2 mins on the other side until golden. Serve cut into wedges.

Steps:

• Layer first 6 ingredients evenly on half of each tortilla; fold in half to enclose filling.
• Heat large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add 2 quesadillas; cook 3 min. on each side or until cheese is melted and quesadillas are evenly browned on both sides.
• Repeat with remaining quesadillas.

Steps:

• Broil the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink inside. Cool and then shred or cube the chicken. (I have found the slicer in my salad shooter works great for this!).
• Mix chicken, salsa and cheese in a bowl.
• Place 1/10th of the mixture on half of the tortilla, fold over and press down slightly to "seal". You can moisten the edges with water to help the edges seal but I usually don't. I've found pressing firmly so that the tortilla sticks to the mixtures works fine.
• Bake at 400°F for about 5 minutes or until tortillas start to brown.
• Serve with additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for dipping.
• Goes well with refried beans and/or Spanish Rice.

Steps:

• Brush one side of each tortilla with butter. Place two tortillas, buttered side down, on a griddle; sprinkle with cheese, onion, tomato and chicken. Top with remaining tortillas, buttered side up. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Cut into wedges.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan and cook the shallot and chorizo for 5 mins until the shallot is softened. Stir in the chicken and tomatoes. Remove from the heat.
• Put half the tortillas onto baking sheets. Spread a little chicken mixture on each one. Scatter over the cheese and coriander. Sandwich with the remaining tortillas. You can make up to this point 2 hrs ahead.
• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Cook the tortillas for 3 mins. Using a fish slice, turn each one over. Cook for 3 mins more until both sides are golden. Put on a board, slice into wedges and serve.

Steps:

• Cook rice according to package instructions.
• In a large saute pan heat chicken and beans with BBQ sauce.
• When rice is cooked, add to chicken and bean mixture. Mix well and add more barbecue sauce if desired.
• Assemble quesadillas by sprinkling Cheddar cheese onto 3 tortillas.
• Top cheese with chicken mixture. Spread out evenly and finish each with additional cheddar cheese.
• Top each quesadilla with another tortilla. Set aside.
• Toast quesadillas one at a time in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
• Cook until tortillas are browned on both sides and cheese has melted, being careful when flipping.
• Serve one half quesadilla per person.
