Chicken Quesadillas

Anthony made this recipe up on his mission, and they're another one of my favorites. Do I say that about every recipe on here?  These are so yummy and so easy! Sorry the pictures don't do them justice. I was having trouble figuring out a way to show off their cheesy goodness, so just take my word for it.

Chicken Quesadillas

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (large), cubed
Oil
Paprika
10 tortillas
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded


Place oil in frying pan on medium heat. Add chicken. Cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

Sprinkle paprika liberally on chicken until well-coated. Continue to cook until desired doneness. (Sometimes Anthony likes it a little more blackened, but that tends to set off the smoke alarms and make it hard to clean the pan. It's just as good if you only cook it for another 5 minutes or so.)

In another frying pan, place one tortilla.

Sprinkle liberally with cheese.

Add a spoonful of chicken, spreading it across half of the tortilla.

Cook on low heat until cheese begins to melt.

Fold tortilla in half and cook until cheese is completely melted.

Place in warm oven until all of the quesadillas are finished.


Makes 10 quesadillas.

Serve with: Spanish Rice (we like the Knorr brand), Refried Beans
