Chicken Pesto Quesidillas
Author: stiritup.me
Serves: 4
- Chicken 1.5-2 lbs breast grilled (or rotissier chicken or even deli slices)
- Some lettuce (Butter or a cripsy lettuce)
- Jar of Sundried tomatoes in oil, cut into strips or small pieces
- Siete wraps or whatever you like
- Cheese if you desire (mozzarella is my daughter's preference for this
- Pesto (you can buy or make your own)
- Our pesto ingredients
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves (I like 1 cup cilantro and 1 cup basil)
- ½ cup walnuts or pine nuts (I use pumpkin seeds go raw brand)
- 3-4 garlic cloves
- ½ tsp sea salt
- pepper to taste
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- If you make the pesto which I highly recommend, just blend all of the ingredients together. That's it! For the quesadilla....
- Take your grilled chicken (rotisserie chicken or deli slices chicken) and cut it into long thin slices unless it's deli meat.
- Heat a large frying pan onto medium heat and add 2 tsp of butter.
- Add 2 tortillas (and sprinkle cheese on it if desired) and cook until brown.
- Place the cooked tortilla on a plate, add the chicken, sun dried tomatoes and lettuce.
- With the other tortilla, coat it with pesto and then place it on top of the tortilla with the chicken.
- Use a pizza cutter to cut twice through the middle and enjoy!
