Easy Peasy Quesadillas (dont worry, its pea free)

One of my go to meals is a chicken quesadilla. It tastes delicious and fills me up. So here is my recipe for a quick tasty treat! The only real time sink is boiling the chicken and baking the quesadilla, but you can always go without chicken, or even without chicken or vegi's for a nice snack

Ingredients:
Chicken Breast
Green Bell Pepper
Yellow Onion
Roma Tomato
Tortilla shells
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Butter

Prep

Chicken
So to start I boil some frozen chicken breast. It leaves the chicken moist and warm. This ends up being a relatively quick no fuss way to cook the chicken. I start the boiling first and then I go on to prepare the ingredients. After the fresh ingredients are prepped I pull out the chicken and check to see if it is white all the way through by cutting the breast in half. If not back into the pot it goes!

Unfortunately for me the frozen chicken I had left was two breasts fused together, so I had way more chicken then I needed, well that allowed for easy prep food in the future.

So while the chicken boils I start prepping the vegi's.

Onion

I first slice off two ends of the onion and peel off the top two layers. Then I rinse the onion.

After that I slice off two slices and dice them which can be seen below.

diced and happy!

Green Bell Pepper

I first need to cut the peppers in half and remove the pepper seeds. After that I quarter the peppers and turn then into slim slices.

Now you see the seeds!

Now you dont!

Cut into quarters

And then sliced perfectly...too bad all mine dont look like this

Then I go and chop these into smaller pieces :)

Tomatoes!

I wash these bad boys off and slice them just like I did the onion...but bigger chunks!

look at those chunks!

Now that I have all my vegi's together I throw them in a bowl and mix em up!

Yummy Vegi's!

So now I chop up the chicken and start throwing together my quesadilla

chop chop!

I hate cleaning the pan as much as everyone else, so I was shown this handy trick by my friend. The aluminum foil still transmits the heat effectively and then can be taken off and throw away when really dirty!

Here is the pan

clean disposable cover

I start the quesadilla by buttering the outsides of both my tortillas. Then I lay a cheese base and stack on vegi's and chicken and more cheese.

Vegi's next

throw on some chicken

Top with cheese to adhere the top tortilla to the chicken and vegi's

Now I have the quesadilla in the oven set to 300F and I wait 15 to 25 minutes... Bon Appetit! (wrong language, I know :/  )

The flavor works really well without adding unnecessary spices, but sometimes when I want a little kick I will add some Red Cayenne Pepper or some Chipotle seasoning mix. Usually I don't think of this until after the quesadilla is in the oven though and I still love the taste of what comes out.

I found that the biggest problem with making this blog work is going to be the pictures...I seem to forget to take any until after I am halfway done with prep, and now that I see some of the ones that come out I find the quality of some quite questionable. Ill just have to pay more attention to lighting and blur as I continue to cook.

Until next time!
