Chicken Quesadilla Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-cook the chicken over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

2. 2

   Caramelize the Onions

   Slice the large onion thinly. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat, add the sliced onions, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized.

3. 3

   Make the Chipotle Sour Cream

   In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of sour cream with 1 teaspoon of chipotle powder. Stir well and set aside.

4. 4

   Assemble the Quesadilla

   On one half of each tortilla, layer the sliced chicken, caramelized onions, and 1/2 cup of jack cheese. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.

5. 5

   Cook the Quesadilla

   In a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

6. 6

   Prepare the Honey-Lime Dressed Greens

   In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of honey and 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Toss the mixed greens with the dressing just before serving.

7. 7

   Serve

   Cut the quesadillas into wedges. Serve hot with chipotle sour cream on the side and garnish with chopped green onions.
