Yum...a Tasty Barbecue Chicken Quesadilla

Babycat's Note:

I created this version of a quesadilla after searching recipezaar for a barbecue chicken quesadilla. When I didn't find one, I ended up making this relatively simple quesadilla that is quick, easy, and a kid pleaser.

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 2 tablespoons butter
• ¼ cup diced onion
• 1⁄3; cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic (i use the stuff in the jar)
• cooked chicken (enough to put a few strips in each quesadilla)
• 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
• 2 flour tortillas
• ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ¼ cup shredded four-cheese Mexican blend cheese
• 3 slices of precooked bacon
• 2 tablespoons oil
• sour cream (optional)

Directions:

1. Melt butter in frying pan.
2. Add onions and sautee.
3. Add mushrooms and sautee until desired doneness.
4. Add garlic and stir.
5. Add chicken to heat it up (if it's already warm you can skip this step).
6. Take mixutre and place in a small bowl.
7. Add the barbecue sauce and mix until everything is coated.
8. Meanwhile, place about 1/2 the cheese on 1/2 of the two flour tortillas.
9. Place mixture on top of the cheese and spread out.
10. Sprinkle remaining cheese evenly over mixture.
11. Fold the tortillas in 1/2 being careful that the ingredients don't fall out.
12. Heat oil in frying pan.
13. Place quesadillas in frying pan, and fry for about 1 1/2 minutes per side. The tortilla should become crispy.
14. Take out of the frying pan, cut into slices and serve with sourcream if desired.

Very good! These were simple to make and had wonderful flavor. I crumbled the bacon and mixed it in with the chicken. I used some leftover chicken I had and shredded it. Made for Spring PAC 2010.

Delicious quesadillas! I left out the onions and used mushrooms from a jar, otherwise made as specified. We really enjoyed the addition of the mushrooms and bacon to this. Great use for some leftover chicken - thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for the Top Favorites of 2009 event

I was looking for a quick lunch to work with cooked chicken. THANK YOU! I love quesadillas already, but this was perfect. I didn't mix the bacon in with the bbq sauce though, I laid it over the cheese (I only used half strips of bacon). It turned out amazing! Thank you babycat!
