Barbecue Chicken Quesadillas – Perfect Use for Leftover or Rotisserie Chicken

October 2, 2024 by goodcook Leave a Comment

Rotisserie Chicken to the Dinner Rescue!

What is your favorite modern-day invention? The telephone, the computer? Hands down, Team Holly’s favorite is rotisserie chicken! In fact, Holly dedicated a whole Rapid Rotisserie Chicken Recipes chapter in KITCHEN 101 cookbook with the goal to help you put a healthy satisfying homemade meal on the table quick and easy. By using rotisserie chicken, the ultimate chicken short cut, Barbecue Chicken Quesadillas will be the perfect quick-dinner solution.

Quick and Easy Dinner Full of Your Favorite Ingredients

You can use rotisserie chicken or on the night you grill chicken, add extra chicken breasts to the pit to turn into tomorrow’s meal for Barbecue Chicken Quesadillas from Holly Clegg’s Too Hot in the Kitchen cookbook.  Best of all, this scrumptious quesadilla is easy to throw together. Red onion, garlic and spinach add a delectable sweet crunch and for nutrition bonus add any extra veggies you enjoy. Look for whole wheat tortillas for important fiber, vitamins and minerals.
