These cheese chicken quesadillas are definitely a crowd favorite. They are filled with cheese, chicken, BBQ sauce, and green chiles.
Whenever I am in a rush for dinner and need something quick this recipe is where I turn! I usually have leftover shredded chicken in the fridge for days just like this
Yum! That is all I can say! This is the perfect week-night dinner. It is something different then the regular ol’ quesadillas. They are family friendly, but can also be spiced up for the men out there! These were a hit for my 5 year old and my husband!
Quesadillas don’t have to be boring. Jazz them up by adding this bbq chicken and green chiles to take this to a whole new level.
These can also be eaten and served as an appetizer.
