Bennigan's Chicken Quesadilla image

I got this recipe from recipegoldmine.com and enjoyed it so much I wanted to share it. These were so easy, and as a novice cook, I was surprised to find the finished product was restaurant quality. I added the Pace Cilantro Salsa to the original recipe.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 flour tortillas
1 large ripe tomatoes
1/2 onion
spreadable butter
1 lb mozzarella cheddar blend cheese, shredded
1/2 package old el paso fajita seasoning mix
1/4 cup water
2 -3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
pace cilantro salsa, to taste

Steps:

  • Fry chicken in a pan coated with cooking spray or olive oil.
  • After chicken is cooked, add water and seasoning to the pan.
  • Sauce will thicken slightly after a few minutes.
  • Set the chicken and sauce aside while preparing the other ingredients.
  • Butter one side of all the tortillas and set aside.
  • Dice the tomato and the onion, mix and also set aside.
  • Place a tortilla, buttered side down, on hot pan or griddle.
  • Layer ingredient in the following order on the tortilla: cheese, chicken and sauce, tomato/onion mixture, cheese, salsa.
  • Top with another tortilla, buttered side up.
  • Once the cheese starts to bubble from the sides of the quesadilla it typically is time to flip it.
  • Be careful to keep everything together while flipping.
  • I used a spatula underneath (in one hand) and some tongs to hold the quesadilla together (in the other hand) and flipped quickly.
  • Shell should be crunchy and a golden color.
  • If you find that the quesadilla is semi plump in the center, simply press down with spatula once you have flipped it.
  • Let stand for a few moments and then cut into quarters, serve with your choice of sour cream, guacamole or salsa for dipping.
