These super easy and fast Cheesy Chicken quesadillas have been a life saver for me during this 2020 Coronavirus pandemic where we are quarantined in the house and a fast, easy, budget friendly recipe was definitely needed for when I need to feed my family and I’m on a time crunch. These literally take 10 to 15 minutes to prepare/cook and have on the table. My hubby came up with this recipe several years ago and I’m so excited to share it with you all!
Easy Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas {1-2 Quesadillas Per Serving}:
Ingredients (per 1 quesadilla):
- 1-2 TBS Canned Premium Chunk Chicken Breast
- 2-3 TBS Cheddar Jack Cheese OR Mexican Blend Cheese
- 1 Raw Tortilla (I buy these at Costco) OR 1 cooked Tortilla
- Salsa (Optional on the side to dip)
- Sour Cream (Option on the side to dip)
Directions:
- Put raw tortilla in a pan and set it on Low heat setting. Cook 1 side of the tortilla until it is just cooked through on that side but not yet golden. Flip it over to the other side to fill (step 2).
- Add about 1-2 TBS Canned chicken breast, spreading it evenly with a fork.
- Then add about 2-3 TBS shredded Cheddar Jack or Mexican blend cheese, spreading it evenly with a fork.
- Fold the tortilla closed using a spatula. Cook for a few minutes and then flip to the other side and cook for an additional few minutes until the tortilla is slightly golden on both sides.
- These taste best served immediately when the cheese is warm and melty inside, with a side of Salsa and Sour Cream Optionally*.
