Best Beks Creamy Chicken Quesadillas Recipes

CHEESY CHICKEN QUESADILLA RECIPE

Steps:

• Place your top oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat baking mat.
• Add the cooked, shredded rotisserie chicken to a large bowl and set aside.
• In a smaller bowl, combine the sour cream and taco seasoning stir to combine.
• Add one-half cup of the seasoned sour cream to the shredded chicken and season with additional salt and black pepper. Gently stir to combine. Note: Reserve the remaining seasoned sour cream for serving.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a chunk of butter and spread over the bottom of the skillet with a spatula as it melts. Add a tortilla to the hot skillet and toast on one side for about 1 minute, or just until golden brown. Note: We are only toasting one side of the quesadilla.
• Transfer the toasted tortilla to the prepared baking sheet, toasted side down. Carefully wipe out the skillet with a clean, damp cloth, then add another chunk of butter. Once the bottom of the skillet is coated, add a second tortilla.
• While the second tortilla is toasting, add one-sixth of the chicken mixture and one-quarter cup of the shredded cheese to one half of the non-toasted side of the first tortilla.
• Fold the tortilla over and press down with a spatula to set. Repeat until all tortillas are toasted and transfer them to your baking sheet.
• Place the baking sheet in the pre-heated oven for 8-10 minutes, or just until the cheese is melted and the quesadilla is heated through.
• Remove from oven and cool slightly before cutting each quesadilla into wedges. Serve with lime wedges, diced avocado (or guacamole), pico de gallo, and the remaining seasoned sour cream on the side.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Slowly sauté the onion, green onion, and green pepper until just soft. Add garlic, cilantro, and lime juice and sauté 1 minute more. Remove from pan into a large mixing bowl.
• Add the chicken, salt, and pepper to the skillet and increase heat to medium high. Sauté until nicely browned and juices run clear. Add vegetables back in, toss to mix, then pour all of it back into the large mixing bowl. Be sure to scrape any yummy bits out as well.
• Add the cottage cheese and grated cheese to the chicken and vegetable mixture. Gently fold in until combined.
• Stove top directions: On a clean, cast iron griddle or skillet, heat additional oil over medium heat. Place each tortilla on griddle as space allows. Spoon filling onto one half of the tortilla, leaving an inch from the edges to prevent it seeping out. Fold in half, the press down with a spatula. Wait until cheese begins to melt (you can lift the top to check it), then carefully flip it and brown the other side. If your tortillas are getting too dark before the cheese melts, turn down the heat. Transfer to a warm platter and continue until they are all done.
• Oven directions: Preheat oven to 500°F Brush one side of the tortillas with olive oil and place on a shallow baking pan, oil side down. Fill as directed above and fold in half, pressing closed. Bake until crisp and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
• When ready to serve, use a pizza cutter to cut each quesadilla into four slices. Serve immediately with the garnishes of your choice.
