directions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Using a mallet or rolling pin, pound chicken breasts between two pieces of waxed paper to 3/4-inch thickness. Brush chicken with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill chicken, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate, and when cool, shred or slice into super-thin slices. Set aside. ?
- Meanwhile, combine sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Combine sauce and chicken; stir to coat.
- Combine mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar in a medium bowl. Add cabbage, carrots and onions; toss to combine.
- Place about 1/2 cup chicken on top of a tortilla on a plate. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Place another tortilla on top. Using a wide spatula, slide assembled quesadilla onto hot grill and cook until bottom is brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip and continue cooking until underside of the second tortilla is also brown and crispy, about another 2 minutes.
- Place cooked quesadilla onto a cutting board and cut into wedges. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make three more quesadillas. Serve with coleslaw.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
