Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas
Ingredients
-
8 ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
-
½ cup water
-
1 - 2 tablespoon bottled hot pepper sauce
-
4 7-8 inch whole wheat flour tortillas
-
Nonstick cooking spray
-
½ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (2 ounces)
-
2 tablespoon crumbled blue cheese
-
8 medium carrots, cut into sticks
-
6 stalks celery, cut into sticks
-
¼ cup bottled light blue cheese or ranch salad dressing
Directions
-
In a medium skillet combine chicken and the water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170°F), turning once; drain. Using two forks, pull chicken apart into shreds (you should have about 1 1/3 cups). In a small bowl toss together shredded chicken and hot pepper sauce to combine.
-
Coat one side of each tortilla with cooking spray. Place tortillas, coated sides down, on a work surface. Top half of each tortilla with mozzarella cheese, blue cheese, and shredded chicken. Fold tortillas in half, pressing gently.
-
In a large skillet cook quesadillas, half at a time, over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until golden and cheeses are melted, turning once. Cut into wedges. Serve with carrots, celery, and salad dressing.
