Provided by Meggan Hill

Time 2h35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

0.5 cup Dijon mustard
0.5 cup honey
0.25 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 1 ½ pounds)
2 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounce mushrooms, sliced
4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoon fresh parsley, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Whisk together mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup sauce in a covered container and refrigerate until serving time.
  • Meanwhile, place the chicken breast in a large plastic zipper-top bag. Pour in remaining sauce and turn in bag until evenly coated. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until foaming. Add mushrooms and saute until the mushrooms have released most of their liquid and have started to turn brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large oven-proof skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. And chicken breast in a single layer, discarding leftover marinade. Leave the chicken on the pan without moving until a golden-brown crust forms, about 5 minutes. Flip each piece and continue to cook until the second side is browned.
  • Divide the mushrooms evenly over the chicken. Top with bacon and cheese. Cover the skillet and place in the oven. Bake until the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and garnish with parsley if desired. Serve with reserved sauce on the side for dipping.

¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon barbecue sauce

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Choose the right tortillas: The best tortillas for quesadillas are fresh, soft, and pliable. You can use flour tortillas or corn tortillas, but flour tortillas are generally easier to work with.
  • Shred the chicken properly: Use a fork or two knives to shred the chicken into small, even pieces. This will help the chicken cook evenly and distribute the flavor throughout the quesadilla.
  • Don't overfill the quesadilla: Too much filling will make the quesadilla difficult to fold and cook evenly. Aim for a thin layer of filling that is evenly distributed across the tortilla.
  • Cook the quesadilla over medium heat: This will help the cheese melt evenly and prevent the tortilla from burning.
  • Flip the quesadilla carefully: Use a large spatula to carefully flip the quesadilla halfway through cooking. This will ensure that both sides are cooked evenly.
  • Let the quesadilla cool slightly before cutting: This will help the cheese set and prevent the quesadilla from falling apart.
  • Serve the quesadilla with your favorite toppings: Popular toppings include guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and Pico de gallo.

Conclusion:

The Alice Springs Chicken Quesadilla is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
