Provided by Adam and Joanne Gallagher

Total Time 40 minutes

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 35 minutes

Yield 6 quesadillas

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 medium to large flour or corn tortillas, see our homemade flour tortilla recipe
3 cups shredded green chile chicken, recipe below
8 ounces mild melting cheese like queso de Oaxaca or Monterey Jack, shredded (about 2 cups)
Spray oil or oil brushed onto pan
Fresh cilantro and lime wedges, for serving
3 pounds boneless chicken thighs or chicken breast
2 cups green enchilada sauce or salsa verde, try our roasted tomatillo salsa recipe
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • This recipe makes about 5 cups of shredded chicken. This recipe should make enough chicken for 6 quesadillas (maybe more). Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
  • Combine chicken and enchilada sauce (or salsa) in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  • Turn heat to high, bring to a boil, and then lower the heat so that the sauce simmers very gently around the chicken.
  • Partially cover the pan with a lid, and then cook until the chicken is cooked through and very tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. When it is cool enough to handle, use two forks or your fingers to shred the meat.
  • Stir the shredded chicken back into the sauce. Taste the chicken, and then, if it needs it, season with salt.
  • Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray the pan or brush it with oil, and then place one tortilla down into the pan.
  • Spread about 1/3 cup of cheese over the tortilla and then spoon about 1/2 cup of shredded chicken onto one half, shaking the chicken lightly so that most of the excess sauce falls back into the saucepan.
  • Carefully fold the tortilla in half, and then use a spatula to press the top down so that it stays folded. Cook until the underside is toasted, about 2 minutes.
  • Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until the second side is toasted and the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and cut in half. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
  • Keep cooked quesadillas warm in a 200° Fahrenheit oven while you finish making the remaining quesadillas.

Provided by Todd Porter and Diane Cu

Total Time 45 minutes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
Kosher or sea salt, to taste
Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
Eight 8-inch flour tortillas
6 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
7 ounces (1 can) green chiles, minced

Steps:

  • In a large pot cover the chicken breasts with water. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the water and let cool. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Spread half of the cheese on 4 tortillas. Top with the chicken. Add a final layer of cheese and gently spread the filling evenly around the tortilla, leaving a gap around the edges. Top with green chiles and remaining tortillas.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place a filled tortilla on the pan, and cook for about 3 minutes or until the bottom is golden. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is completely melted.
  • Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining quesadillas. Allow each to cool for a few minutes before cutting into 4 to 6 pieces.
