These Cheesy Chicken Salsa Quesadillas are a delightful twist on a classic favorite, combining tender chicken, zesty salsa, and gooey cheese for a satisfying meal.
Cook the chicken breasts in boiling water until fully cooked, then remove and let cool.
Boiling the chicken ensures it's tender and easy to shred.
Shred the cooled chicken using two forks and place it in a mixing bowl.
Shredding the chicken while it's slightly warm makes the process easier.
Mix the shredded chicken with salsa and softened cream cheese until well combined.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Using a non-stick spray prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Place a tortilla on the pan, spread some chicken mixture on one half, and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Don't overfill the tortilla to make flipping easier.
Fold the tortilla in half and cook until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook the other side.
Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling, reapplying cooking spray as needed.
Keep cooked quesadillas warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.
Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with your favorite sides like guacamole or sour cream.
Cutting into wedges makes them easier to share and enjoy.
