Timing
Prep time: 45 minutes – More like 30 min: 15min to defrost the chicken, the other 15 to dice it up
Active Cooking Time: 15 minutes – More like 30 min: cook the chicken, slice the cheese, set up the tortillas and cheese
Walk-away time: 15 minutes – the time the quesadillas spend in the oven

Ingredients

• 8 oz. cheddar cheese, sliced – I used something like 5 oz of yellow extra sharp cheddar cheese
• 3 lg. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced – I only used 2, but they were pretty large
• 1 pkg. taco seasoning mix
• 1 cup water
• 6 lg. flour tortillas I made 2 quesadillas, so that’s only 4 tortillas – I used whole wheat tortillas

Directions

1. Dissolve taco seasoning in water in large skillet.
2. Add chicken breasts and cook until chicken is thouroughly cooked; drain.



3. Layer cheese slices on 3 tortillas (I use a pizza pan).
4. Next, put 1/3 of chicken on each tortilla.
5. Top with another layer of cheese and remaining tortillas.



6. Bake at 350°F for about 15 minutes, until cheese is melted.
7. Cut into quarters and serve with sour cream and/or guacamole.

Final review: these turned out pretty well, and I might make them again, but not for dinner. Maybe as a party appetizer or something. The truth is that it was way too much cheese for dinner.
