Recipe of the day- Ultimate Chicken Quesadillas
Do you like Ro*tel? We do! At almost every holiday get together we have cheese dip with Ro*tel in it! We are nacho fanatics!
So I thought we would try this neat recipe:
Prep time:30 minutes
Serves :4 people 1 quesadilla each
Ingredients you will need:
Pam (cooking spray)
1/2 lb of boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 can (10oz each) Ro*tel mexican diced tomatoes with lime juice and cilantro undrained
4 flour tortillas (10 inch)
2 cups shredded cheddar and monterey jack cheese blend (we used colby jack thinly sliced shredded cheese since that is the kind we like)
Directions:
1. Spray large skillet with cooking spray: heat over meduim heat. Add chicken and undrained tomatoes: cook for about 10 minutes, or until chicken pieces are no longer pink in the center and liquid has evaporated, stiring frequently.
2. Spread chicken mixture evenly onto bottom half of each tortill to within 1 inch of edge. Sprinkle 1.2 cup cheese over chicken mixture on each tortilla. Fold each tortilla 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 and serve.
As we have 8 people in our family to feed, we had to triple this recipe. It was a great treat that we all loved. Some ate with sour cream and others not. The Ro*tel comes in stages also from mild to spicy. You can decide which one your family will like best. For my husband and oldest son we used the hot one. But for the rest of us we used the mild. You can also substitute canned chicken breast for the fresh. It saves a lot of time and energy. When your family is extra hungry this helps also on time! Next time these are made I will have to post pictures so you can all see this great meal. (or appetizer)
This recipe was sent to me from Ro*tel to try. If you try it would love to hear from you!
