Description
Delicious chicken quesadillas made with rotisserie chicken, fresh basil, and melted mozzarella.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 16 oz rotisserie chicken, chopped or shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped or chiffonade
- 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- Olive oil or cooking spray, for the skillet
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray or brush with a thin layer of olive oil.
- Place one tortilla flat on the skillet. Evenly distribute about ¼ of the chicken, ¼ of the basil, ¼ of the cheese, and a drizzle of pizza sauce over one half of the tortilla.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bottom of the tortilla is lightly golden and the cheese just begins to melt.
- Carefully fold the empty half of the tortilla over the topped half, creating a half-moon shape. Gently press down with a spatula.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes per side, flipping once, until the quesadilla is golden brown and crispy to your liking, and all the cheese is melted through.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Slice each quesadilla in half or into wedges with a pizza cutter and serve immediately.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider using a mix of cheeses or adding jalapeños.
