This is a great recipe for parties. I freeze the leftovers; they reheat quite well. The zesty chicken and cooked peppers are a succulent delight when mixed with the melted cheeses. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.

CHICKEN QUESADILLAS

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

12 large flour tortillas
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 cups grated cheese (Monterey Jack is the best)
2 pounds skinless chicken breasts
Pico de Gallo, for serving, recipe follows
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons taco or Cajun seasoning mix
1 large onion, cut in half and then into slices
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
1 yellow bell pepper
12 tablespoons butter, for frying
12 Roma tomatoes (slightly under ripe is fine)
3 yellow or red onions
2 cups fresh cilantro leaves
2 to 3 jalapenos
1 lime
Salt

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.

CHICKEN QUESADILLAS HOMEMADE



Chicken Quesadillas Homemade image

My Husband one day took the left over chicken breast and made these yummy Chicken Quesadillas. Since then we actually cook the chicken to make them. Its easy and you don't have to go to a restaurant and pay 10 dollars for only 1 !!! If you don't want to make the chicken simply wait until one day when you have left over chicken, roasted chicken makes them taste really good. I wanted to go buy one of those "under a lamp" chickens just so I can make them. Tip: The onions for this recipe i like to cut them in slices, just cut up the onions in circles and then half the circles, thin slices are the best unless you want your Quesadillas to be really bulky, the chicken is bulky enough. (One of my step asks you to specifically place your tortillas a certain side up, I do it that way so I don't warm the tortillas too much making them hard. Flour tortillas tend to burn faster then corn tortillas. I like my quesadillas cheese soft not crunchy hard). (I estimated the time for both prep and cook, we all have our different ways of cooking and prep-ing or foods it may take less time for you or more)

Time 1h

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 -3 chicken breasts, cut in medium small chunks (boneless or skinless is what i use)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup tomatoes, chopped
1 -2 jalapeno, chopped (seeded and deveined)
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup colby-monterey jack cheese, shredded

  • Add the tomatoes and soften them up as well.
  • Once the veggies are soften and the chicken is cooked through remove from the burner and set aside to cool down a bit (not too much you want it hot enough to help melt the cheese when placed together).
  • In a medium bowl mix the Mozzarella and Colby Jack cheeses.
  • On a different skillet warm up the flour tortillas two at a time and only on one side.
  • On a dry clean cutting broad lay your warmed flour tortilla with the side that was touching the skillet up facing you.
  • Put some cheese on it top it with your chicken and veggies and then put more cheese on top of it.
  • Now place your second warmed tortilla on top of it, with the side that was touching the skillet, touching the cheese.
  • With your hand or a hot pat press down on the tortilla to asure the chicken and cheese and tortillas are all sticking to each other.
  • Then place back on the 'tortilla warming skillet'.
  • after about a minute or two turn over the quesadilla and warm the otehr side assuring that the cheese on both sides of the quesadilla is melted.
  • Once the cheese is melted remove from the skillet and palce on cutting board, with a pizza slicer, slice it into wedges slices however big you want them.
  • Repeat these sets with the rest of your tortillas.
  • Top them with sour cream and hot sauce if you like or have them with nothing they are good anyway.
