Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas
- Begin by shredding the rotisserie chicken into small, bite-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken with softened cream cheese and a generous handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir in diced bell peppers and onions for added flavor and nutrition, making sure everything is well-mixed.
- Take a tortilla and lay it flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken and cheese mixture onto half of the tortilla, leaving some space around the edges. Fold the tortilla over to encase the filling and create a semi-circle.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add a small amount of oil or cooking spray, then place the filled tortilla in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cheese begins to melt. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are crispy.
- Remove from skillet and let cool for a minute. Slice into wedges or halves for easy serving.
- Pair with colorful sides and enjoy a balanced meal!

Notes
Make extra quesadillas as they freeze wonderfully; just reheat in the oven for a quick meal any night without the fuss.
