Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 Flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cups Salsa (optional for serving)
- 0.5 cups Sour cream (optional for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Shred the cooked chicken breast into small pieces using two forks.
Step 2
Lay two flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide half of the shredded chicken evenly between the two tortillas.
Step 3
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken on each tortilla.
Step 4
Place the remaining flour tortillas on top to create two quesadilla sandwiches.
Step 5
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted.
Step 6
Place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Step 7
Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and set aside. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and repeat the process with the second quesadilla.
Step 8
Once both quesadillas are cooked, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice each one into quarters.
Step 9
Serve warm with salsa and sour cream on the side for dipping, if desired.
