Nice flavors and a good way to use up the small amount of leftover chicken in my refrigerator...I love pineapple and ham pizza so why not chicken and pineapple? I did add some salsa inside the quesadilla but there still wasn't as much flavor as I was hoping for. Used some more as a dipping sauce and that satisfied me. Wish I would have been able to garnish with chopped cilantro, but mine has been a victim of the extremely hot summer temps.
