Chicken Breast Quesadillas

Included are some tips on how to saute moist chicken breasts. Use this chicken recipe for enchiladas, tacos, nachos, or other dishes.

There is a recipe link for homemade flour tortillas, which are so much better than store-bought. But, if you have access to a Mexican grocery, tortilla factory, or Kroger's, you might be able to buy tasty ones.

For me, Mission or other brands are just not that good, since I learned to make my own.

  1. Place a chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or wax paper.
  2. Using a mallet, or rolling pin, pound it until it is uniform in size.
  3. Repeat with other pieces of chicken.
  4. Place them in a plastic baggie with the seasoning, oil, and lemon or lime juice.
  5. Marinate several hours in the fridge.
  6. Prepare homemade tortillas, if making them.
  7. Remove breasts from the marinade.
  8. Over a medium heat, cook the breasts 4-5 minutes, or more, depending on thickness, on each side. Cover the chicken with a lid for 1 minute each side that you cook.
  9. Remove the skillet from the heat, re-cover with a lid for 5 minutes. Juices will return to the center.
  10. Slice them "against the grain" for maximum tenderness, about 1/2 inch thick. The "grain" is easier to find on the bottom side of the breast where the little ridges are more detailed.
  11. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Wipe the skillet clean. Heat to medium.
  13. Place 1-2 tortillas on it, sprinkle on cheese, top with slices of chicken, then the second tortilla (s).
  14. Cover the skillet with a lid, let cook 30 seconds-1 minute, turn the quesadillas on the othetr side, cover, cook another minute, or until cheese is melted.
  15. Repeat process.
  16. Cut in quarters with a sharp, heavy knife, serve.
