BBQ Chicken Skillet Quesadilla

An easy way to prep a crowd favorite!  The kids eat these up more quickly than you can make them.  I love making quesadillas on the stovetop as they come together quickly and end up crispy and delicious!

Serves 2

Ingredients:

1 chicken breast, cooked and diced (can also substitute 1 cup rotisserie chicken)

1/4 cup barbecue sauce (store bought or our homemade version included below)

2 scallions, green and white parts, diced

1 1/2 cups shredded Colby jack cheese

2 large flour tortillas

To Serve:

2 tsp barbecue sauce

2 tsp ranch dressing

Scallions, diced

Directions:

In a small bowl, mix chicken breast and barbecue sauce to coat.  Set aside.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Prepare one quesadilla at a time.  Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese in bottom of skillet.  Add 1/2 of chicken.  Once cheese starts to melt, add 1/2 of scallions.  Top with tortilla.  Spray tortilla with nonstick cooking spray.  After cheese is melted, roughly 4-5 minutes, flip quesadilla onto hand and flip in pan.  Tortilla side will now be down.

Fold quesadilla in half.  Cook 2-3 minutes or until outside of side down is golden brown.  Flip and top with 1/4 cup shredded cheese.  Cook additional 2-3 minutes or until cheese on top is melted.

Cut cooked quesadilla into quarters.  Top with drizzle of barbecue sauce and ranch.  Garnish with scallions.

Repeat with second quesadilla.
