Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 Flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cups Salsa (optional for serving)
- 0.5 cups Sour cream (optional for serving)
Instructions
Shred the cooked chicken breast into small pieces using two forks.
Lay two flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide half of the shredded chicken evenly between the two tortillas.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken on each tortilla.
Place the remaining flour tortillas on top to create two quesadilla sandwiches.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted.
Place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and set aside. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and repeat the process with the second quesadilla.
Once both quesadillas are cooked, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice each one into quarters.
Serve warm with salsa and sour cream on the side for dipping, if desired.
