Chicken and Strawberry Quesadillas
 
 
Yield: 2 quesadillas
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup finely chopped strawberries (about 2 large strawberries), plus more for topping
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 2 flour tortillas
  • ⅔ cup shredded mozzarella, divided
  • ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese, divided
  • ⅔ cup chopped cooked chicken (about ½ chicken breast)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, plus more for topping
  • Balsamic glaze, for topping
Directions
  1. Combine the strawberries, honey and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes then mash well with a fork or potato masher. Place the tortillas on a clean surface then divide the strawberry spread between them. Spread it around to coat the tortilla.
  2. Heat 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Once hot, put in the tortilla with the strawberry spread side up. Sprinkle ⅓ cup of the shredded mozzarella all over the strawberry spread followed by 2 tablespoons of the goat cheese. Once the cheese has melted, put ⅓ cup of the chopped chicken and 1 tablespoon of the basil on one half of the tortilla. Carefully fold over the tortilla to cover the half with the chicken and increase the heat to medium-high. Watch the quesadilla carefully as it browns quickly; once browned carefully flip to the other side and let the other side brown. Once done, remove from the pan to a clean cutting surface. Let the pan cool slightly then lightly wipe out with the paper towel, heat the remaining teaspoon of vegetable oil and repeat the steps for the second quesadilla.
  3. To serve, cut quesadillas then top with additional chopped strawberries, basil and balsamic glaze.
