Read this simple recipe for chicken quesadilla and prepare it in your kitchen! Chicken quesadilla is a regular item on many restaurant's menu and for a good reason! It will blow your mind, too!
Ingredients
- 400 g chicken breast
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 mid-sized onion
- 1 big tomato
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 200 g champignon mushroom
- 50 g cheese (your choice which kind)
- 1/2 tbsp chilli flakes/jalapeno
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt, pepper
- 3-4 tortillas
Instructions
- The first step of this easy chicken quesadilla recipe is to chop all the veggies and the chicken into small pieces or slices. I prefer to slice the mushrooms.
- Put oil in a pan, then add the chicken first, followed by the onion. Season them with salt and pepper.
- When the chicken is white on both sides, add the bell pepper and the tomato.
- If you want to spice things up, at this point, you can add the jalapeno, too.
- Add 50 ml chicken broth or water to the pan, so the ingredients don't burn until the pepper gets cooked.
- Add the mushrooms, then will up the pan with hot water or chicken broth just until the ingredients are covered.
- Now you can add the garlic, and if you want to use chilli powder, you can add that too.
- Cook it on medium heat for about 20 minutes, but check the chicken if it's ready before all the water is gone. Leave it to cook just until there's a little bit of sauce left on the bottom of the pan!
- In a large and wide pan, heat up a tortilla, and put some grated cheese on top of it.
- When you see that the cheese is melting, add the veggies and chicken on one side and fold the tortilla in half. Leave it like that for 2-3 minutes on the lowest heat. That's it, your chicken quesadilla is ready to serve!
