Ingredients
  

  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
  • 3 tablespoons basil pesto
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Method
 

  1. Spread. Lay out tortillas and spread pesto evenly across one side of each.
  2. Layer. Add shredded chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and mozzarella on one tortilla. Top with second tortilla, pesto side down.
  3. Press. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook quesadilla 3 to 4 minutes, pressing gently, until golden.
  4. Flip. Flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until cheese is melted and both sides are crispy.
  5. Slice. Rest 1 minute, then cut into wedges and serve.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for fastest prep.
Medium heat prevents burning before cheese melts.
