10. You can also cook this in the oven at 350 F until brown or place half of ingredients on a tortilla, fold in half and brown on each side in a large skillet.
11. I sometimes saute a small amount of mushrooms in the skillet the chicken was cooked in and put them on the quesadillas.
12. I also wanted to add that this can be made vegetarian using this recipe for "chicken" made from Textured Soy Protein Chunks, this is a recipe from Chef Deborah http://www.vegsource.com/talk/recipes/messages/47153.html Saute the "chicken" in oil until browned and proceed with recipe.
