Time 10h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 32

1/4 cup peanut oil
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt
Pepper
Peanut oil
1 red onion, sliced
1/4 to 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
Eight 8-inch flour tortillas
1 cup shredded fontina cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons butter
Mexican Cream, recipe follows
Tomato Salsa, recipe follows
1 lime, juiced
1 1/2 cups sour cream
Salt
Pepper
5 Roma tomatoes
2 chipotle chiles, reconstituted
1/2 cup chopped basil leaves
1/4 cup minced garlic
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine the peanut oil, ginger, garlic, cilantro, green onion, and red pepper. Add the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator overnight. Remove the chicken from the marinade and season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat a large ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add enough peanut oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken and sear on both sides. Place the pan in the oven and roast until cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, cool slightly, and dice into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan. Drizzle the onion slices with oil and place on the grill. Cook until the onions are soft, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill.
  • Place the chicken into a bowl and add barbecue sauce, to taste. Place 4 tortillas on a flat surface. In a separate bowl, mix the fontina and mozzarella cheese. Place some of the cheese mixture on each tortilla. Top with some of the chicken and grilled onions. Top each with another tortilla.
  • Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and cook until it is foamy. Add 1 quesadilla and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas, adding more butter as necessary.
  • Cut each quesadilla into 6 pieces. Top with Mexican Cream and Tomato Salsa.
  • Combine all of the ingredients. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Over a hot grill, roast the tomatoes until blackened. Transfer to a bowl and add the chipotles. Cover and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Add the basil, garlic and lime juice and marinate for 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender or food processor and pulse until chunky. Transfer to a bowl and add the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of olive oil. Reserve.

HAWAIIAN BBQ CHICKEN QUESADILLAS



Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Quesadillas image

I happen to love those BBQ chicken pizzas, especially with a little pineapple on top. So here's a lunch time creation when pizza dough or bread was not an option. Quick and so good! If I cook chicken for this I boil a chicken breast (can be frozen to begin with, just drop it in the water). After about 15-20 minutes just cut open the chicken to see if it is cooked all the way through and ready to use. If the chicken breast is defrosted it takes much less time, but time is estimated. I would encourage others to change this recipe up to create other pizza favorites making a pepperoni quesadilla, meat lovers, hawaiian, chicken alfredo, etc. Get creative! Pizza anyone?

4 flour tortillas

  • Start to heat up a skillet on the stove because this won't take long.
  • Take flour tortilla and sprinkle half of it with cheese and 1/4 of cooked chicken.
  • Add bacon bits and a little bit of crushed pineapple (no juice) if desired. Pour a little bit of BBQ sauce on top. Don't be too generous with the sauce or it will seep out of the quesadilla.

Quick, easy and oh so satisfying! We like these for a quick snack. Doubled it makes an easy dinner for 4. I will pick up a rotisserie chicken and a bag of salad mix on the way home from work and dinner is half made before I get home. With a little extra effort you can saute up some crispy bacon and sliced mushrooms. Makes them even better!

BBQ CHICKEN BACON QUESADILLAS



BBQ Chicken Bacon Quesadillas image

I found this recipe in a GIANT grocery stores Healthy Ideas magazine and decided to make it for my brood one weekend. They went before I could even get a bite so they must be good! I made them according to directions except that I used honey BBQ sauce because that is what I had on hand. I also used real bacon bits to save time instead of cooking and crumbling bacon. This recipe makes 6 appetizer sized servings.

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
1/4 cup hickory smoked barbecue sauce

1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
2 slices bacon, crisp cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 whole grain tortillas
cooking spray
salsa and light sour cream, for serving, if desired

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a bowl and mix with 1/4 c BBQ sauce.
  • Lay tortilla wraps on a clean surface.
  • Working on half the wrap, spread with 1 Tbsp BBQ sauce.
  • Spread 1/4 c chicken/BBQ mixture (half the mixture) over the side of the wrap that was spread with BBQ sauce.
  • Evenly distribute half the onion, half the bacon and half the cheese over the chicken/BBQ mixture.

  • Cook for 3-5 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
  • Repeat steps 8-10 for the second quesadilla.
  • Place finished quesadillas on a cutting board and cut into thirds.
  • Serve with fresh salsa and low-fat sour cream, if desired.
