Instructions
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add in the olive oil.
Once hot, add the diced chicken and chicken taco seasoning, tossing to ensure all of the chicken is well coated. Saute the chicken, stirring occasionally, until completely cooked through. Then, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Add a little more oil to the skillet, if necessary, and then place one tortilla into it. Sprinkle ¼ of the cooked chicken as well as ¼ of the shredded cheese onto the tortilla. Place a second tortilla on top and gently press down with your spatula.
Cook the chicken quesadilla for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the tortillas have browned and the cheese is melted. Repeat the process for each quesadilla.
If desired, cut your quesadillas into wedges. Then, serve immediately.
Notes
This recipe is fantastic for using up some rotisserie chicken, leftover chicken, or even canned chicken!
If desired, you can add some tasty bell peppers or onions! Just saute them before adding the chicken.
For some added heat, add in a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when you season the chicken.
I like using two tortillas and pressing them together with a spatula. However, you could also use one tortilla and just fold it over on itself.
To store: Before storing, your quesadilla needs to be completely cool. Then, place it into an airtight container in the fridge for 5 days at most.
To freeze: Place your chicken quesadillas into a Ziploc bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To reheat: Reheat your chicken quesadillas in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until they are nice and hot. Of course, you can also heat them in the microwave using 30-second bursts.
