Well, folks! It’s time to don my apron and brandish my spatula because today, it’s all about whipping up my crave-worthy BBQ chicken quesadillas. Shaky knees at the thought of preparing chicken? Gotcha covered! Trust me, it’s as easy as falling off a log.
Now, you’d think a festive feast like this one would take forever to prepare, but think again! This recipe, honest to goodness, takes no more time than it takes a kitten to steal the biggest fish. Let’s kick things off by firing up the grill to get that chicken sizzling. You’ll want to flavor that bird up with your favorite BBQ sauce—mine’s a little bit of smoky, with a zing of spice—basting it generously. Just remember, to an old griller like me, it’s all about low and slow.
And for a dollop of spontaneity, why not throw in some sautéed bell peppers and onions? After all, we’re not just making food here; we’re creating a mouthwatering masterpiece!
With the chicken cooked to perfection and smelling divine, it’s time to assemble our quesadillas. We’re going for a double cheese scenario here – oodles of cheddar and dollops of cream cheese. Then we layer in our BBQ’d chicken and sautéed veggies.
The last bit is the most fun – a quick sear on the skillet to get that crispy, golden-brown tortilla. Voila! You have your BBQ chicken quesadilla, folks. So, roll up your sleeves and dive straight in – you’re in for a real treat.
This whole process – the grilling, the creating, the tasting – it’s therapeutic for me. There’s nothing quite like it, my dear friend. One bite into this scrumptious quesadilla, and I promise, you’ll be singing its praises from the rooftops! Now, who said great food has to be complicated?
Cluck, Pluck, Luck: Your Chicken Masterpiece Awaits!
– Start by preheating your grill to medium heat.
– Take a large bowl and add 500-600g of boneless chicken. Coat the chicken with your favorite BBQ sauce.
– Place the chicken on the grill. Grill each side for about 7-8 minutes, or until it’s cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.
– While the chicken is grilling, chop 1 large onion and 1-2 bell peppers.
– In a skillet, add a tablespoon of oil. Sauté the onions and bell peppers until they are softened. Season them with a little salt and pepper to taste.
– Once cooked, remove your chicken from the grill and let it cool. After it’s cooled, slice or shred it.
– Now, it’s time to assemble the quesadillas. Take a large tortilla and spread cream cheese over half of it.
– Sprinkle a generous amount of grated cheddar cheese over the cream cheese.
– Lay some of your BBQ’d chicken and sautéed veggies on top of the cheese.
– Fold over the empty half of the tortilla to create a half-circle.
– Do the same with the remaining tortillas.
– Heat up a skillet over medium heat, add a dollop of butter, and add your quesadilla.
– Cook until each side is golden brown, it should take around 2-4 minutes per side.
– Once done, remove from the skillet, slice, and serve hot.
– Enjoy your delicious homemade BBQ Chicken Quesadillas!
