This Chicken Club Quesadilla recipe is a fast, easy meal idea that is full of flavor. These quesadillas are stuffed with chicken, bacon, cheese and salsa!
Ever since our anniversary trip to North Carolina, I’ve been wanting to make Chicken Club Quesadillas. I ordered them at Island’s Fresh Mex in Wilmington and they were fabulous. Well, I finally made them the other day and they are my new favorite thing! I’m thinking I could probably eat them every day…and possibly more than once a day!
Brush one side of a tortilla with olive oil and place it oil side down in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add diced chicken and fresh salsa to half of the tortilla. You can make your own if you have the time, but I used rotisserie chicken and fresh salsa from the deli of my local grocery store.
Sprinkle on some shredded cheese and crumbled bacon.
Top that with shredded lettuce and chopped cilantro.
Finally, drizzle with sour cream and thousand island dressing. If you don’t have a squeeze bottle for your sour cream, put it into a plastic baggie, snip off the corner and squeeze out the sour cream.
Cook over medium low heat until the tortilla starts to brown. Then fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filled half and use the bottom of the spatula to press it flat.
Remove from the heat, cut into thirds and prepare for a flavor explosion in your mouth. These Chicken Club Quesadillas are easy to make and out-of-this-world delicious!
