Chicken Cheese Quesadillas

Chicken Cheese Quesadillas are a great and quick easy meal for the family.







Start with one pound of chicken breast halves
I used 2 average sized chicken breasts and then chopped them into 1/4-1/8 inch pieces. This allows them to cook quickly.







Mince two cloves of garlic and add to chopped chicken.









Chop a red onion. You will need about 1/2 cup chopped red onion. Add to chicken and garlic.









Open a 4 ounce can of green chilies. Drain any excess liquid and add to chicken.








Coat a non stick pan with a product like Pam. Heat over medium high heat.




Add the chicken, onion, garlic and chilies to the pan and cook over medium high heat.









Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices are running clear.





Open a package of Flour Tortillas (I used a package of 10).









Place four tortillas on a broiling pan and spread some chicken mixture over the tortillas (about 1/2 cup mixture per tortilla)
If you have a pan that will fit 5 Tortillas that is great. I could only fit 4.





Open a package of Mexican cheese blend cheese










Top each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of cheese.
Place a second tortilla over filling.






Place under a broiler (high heat) about 2 inches from broiler. Watch carefully until they begin to brown. Carefully flip the tortillas and broil on other side (about 1 1/2 minute each side)






Cut the tortillas into four wedges each. Repeat with remaining tortillas.






Cut a ripe avocado into small pieces. Add about 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa to the dish and combine.








Serve the quesadilla wedges with the salsamole on the side. Enjoy.
